Lyrics
0:32I only play for money, honey
0:35Look at what this fun has done to me
0:38It has me gunning for the country
0:42Sky's memory and moonless
0:45Vision copied from the bootlegs
0:47We are out of tune so mostly tuneless
0:51For a fee I'll fight any foe
0:55For a fee I'll take any dough
1:07I only play it cool and bruising
1:10But only when my lips are moving
1:13You've been careful here to keep the tempo
1:17Only play with money, careful
1:20Not to trigger some reversal
1:22And to live by an obscure example
1:27For a fee I'll fight any foe
1:30For a fee I'll stop any show
1:32I know, having all you to get this right
1:37Having all you to climb these heights
1:40Having all you's pay per view
1:58I beat the path of least resistance
2:02Over the hills and out of wisdom
2:04And just when I thought we beat the system
2:08I knew a gentleman of leisure
2:11He loved to talk about his treasure
2:14And of how he got it for a song, song, song, song
2:20For a fee I'll right any wrong
2:23For a fee I'll right any wrong
2:26For a fee I'll fight any foe
2:30For a fee I'll stop any show
2:32I know, having all you to get this right
2:37Having all you to climb these heights
2:40Having all you's pay per view
2:46Having all you to get this right
2:49Having all you to climb these heights
2:53Having all you's pay per view
3:08Only live for happy endings
3:11Stop them like we started
3:13Pardon my affinity for closing clueless
3:18Never been an opportunist
3:21I accept the prize if I somehow surprise us all and get there soonest
3:27I only play for money, honey
3:30I only play with money, honey
3:37I only play with money, honey
3:40I only play with money, honey
3:58The song (the song)
