Doing It for the Money - Foster The People

Written by：Mark Foster/Isom Innis/Ryan Tedder/Adam Schmalholz

Just close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

We live our lives

Yeah we're not wasting time

Baby we lost our minds

We're gonna get gonna get

Get what we can

We're not doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Is it wrong to rock the booze

We gotta strike a match and light the fuse

Now I'm never looking back

It's time to leave the future with the past

I said it doesn't matter where I go

I am calling all the poets in the battle

I am shouting to the world

Let them know that we won't

Be afraid to step into the fire

When you can't see the light

So close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

We live our lives

Yeah we're not wasting time

Baby we lost our minds

We're gonna get gonna get

Get what we can

We're not doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

But if you're down I'm a soldier up

You better learn to shoot or learn to duck

There's no retreat and no escape

If we keep dreaming while we're wide awake

I said it doesn't matter where I go

I am calling all the prophets into the battle

I am never going to change who I am

I won't bend under the pressure

When my back's on the ropes

I said it doesn't matter where I go

I am staring down the barrel of a gun

We are shouting to the world

Let them know that we are

Not afraid to step into the fire

When we can't see the light

So close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

We live our lives

Yeah we're not wasting time

Baby we lost our minds

We're gonna get gonna get

Get what we can

We're not doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Well it's a silicone rush

And I'm addicted

And I don't understand it

The winner starts kill switch

Saying what I want to

The pleasure comes with pain too

Mostly it's another fight

When it's slowly coming after you

So close your eyes

We're gonna run this light

We live our lives

Yeah we're not wasting time

Baby we lost our minds

We're gonna get gonna get

Get what we can

We're not doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money

Doing it for the money
