Took My Money To The Grave Lyrics

Look at me

Take a profound glance

A dead among the living

Worth more than life itself

I'm the bourgeois of the hour

The aristocrat who remains

Decay did hit me badly

But oversaw my business gains

They say that money cannot buy

A hearth's true love

But honey this is capitalism

All you need is a diamond glove

Why bother about wrinkles

If you have no skin

Don't be scared of me

Just invite me in

I can tell you all about

Having a voice without breath

A chest without a beating heart

And how to cheat death

Because I took my money to the grave

So take a step back and behave

I went down to Styx

And my money went with me

Believe me, Charon will close both eyes if you give more than one penny

In life there were boundaries

Bitter pills to swallow

Moral codes and ethics

I was told to follow

In death, things changed

No discontent

I don't even pay taxes

Someone tell me, what's rent

They call me immoral, they call me corrupt

And I do not deny

My cellar is filled with rotting dead

The smell however doesn't reach me so up high

Gimme that mark, gimme those pence, gimme that buck, tear that fence

Gimme those rupees, gimme those dimes, gimme that dollar, play those chimes

Gimme this house, clean that floor, buy me another, clean some more

You'll do what I tell you to do

As a matter of fact I'm owning you

Gimme that mark, gimme those pence, gimme that buck, tear that fence

Gimme those rupees, gimme those dimes, gimme that dollar, play those chimes

Gimme this house, clean that floor, buy me another, clean some more

You'll do what I tell you to do

As a matter of fact I'm owning you

I took my money to the grave

So take a step back and behave

If life seems to short to get the things you want

Just die and buy the underworld and have hades as your grunt

My money

My money
