Lyrics



One more card and it`s 22

Unlucky 4 him again

He never had respect 4 money it`s true

That`s why he never wins

That`s why he never ever has enough

2 treat his lady right

He just pushes her away in a huff

And says `Money don`t matter 2 night`

Money don`t matter 2 night

It sure didn`t matter yesterday

Just when u think u`ve got more than enough

That`s when it all up and flies away

That`s when u find out that u`re better off

Makin` sure your soul`s alright

Cuz money didn`t matter yesterday,

and it sure don`t matter 2 night

Look, here`s a cool investment

They`re tellin` him he just can`t lose

So he goes off and tries to find a partner

but all he finds are users (users)

All he finds are snakes in ever color

Every nationality and size

Seems like the only thing he can do

Is just roll his eyes, and say that

Money don`t matter 2 night (don`t matter)

It sure didn`t matter yesterday

Just when u think u`ve got more than enough

That`s when it all up and flies away

That`s when u find out that u`re better off

Makin` sure your soul`s alright (soul`s alright)

Cuz money didn`t matter yesterday, (don`t matter)

and it sure don`t matter 2 night

(ooh-wee-ooh, don`t matter)

(it don`t matter 2 night, no)

Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason

2 send a child off 2 war

So what if we`re controllin` all the oil,

Is it worth a child dying 4? (is it worth it?)

If long life is what we all live 4

Then long life will come 2 pass

Anything is better than the picture of the child

In a cloud of gas

And u think u got it bad

Money don`t matter 2 night (no, don`t matter)

It sure didn`t matter yesterday (yesterday)

Just when u think u`ve got more than enough

That`s when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away)

That`s when u find out that u`re better off

Makin` sure your soul`s alright (make certain that your soul`s alright)

Cuz money didn`t matter yesterday,

it sure don`t matter 2 night

Money don`t matter 2 night

It sure didn`t matter yesterday (yesterday, yesterday)

Just when u think u`ve got more than enough

That`s when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away)

That`s when u find out that u`re better off

Makin` sure your soul`s alright

Money didn`t matter yesterday,
