Things I Do For Money - The Northern Pikes

The things I do for money

I'll never understand

I used to be quite critical

But now I find I'm cynical

A lady with a starving

Baby miles away from me

No problems there

Just life and death

What the hell is wrong with me

And everybody else

No questions asked

Just get receipts and write them off

Expenses taxes are a b**ch these days

Yet the lady and the baby starve

Waiting for a contribution in a UNICEF box

In a drugstore in this ugly little town

The things I do for money

I'll never understand

The world is just a marble

In the palm of my hand

The palm of my hand

The palm of my hand

The things I do for money

I'll never understand

The world is just a marble

In the palm of my hand

The things I waste my time on

I'll never understand

I used to be quite practical

But now I find I'm tactical

I scrape and scheme and struggle hard

To get myself ahead

Have no concern for anyone but me

The things I do for money

I'll never understand

The world is just a marble

In the palm of my hand

The palm of my hand

The palm of my hand

The palm of my hand

The palm of my hand

The things I do for money

I'll never understand

The world is just a marble

In the palm of my hand
