Living our daily lives Watching the world go around Talking about the wife Inviting the neighbours 'round "Money wouldn't change us!" we'd be saying "Money wouldn't make us!" but we'd be praying And now you've thrown our principles away Because it's come your way The water is hot and clean It's wiping the dirt away The work is very hard but you said you'd stay Because after all, what would you do With so much time, it just isn't you To just let fame and fortune run the show But we both know Just remember who you were only yesterday Because now you're speaking down to me Like I'm a thousand miles away He was always very kind Always such a gentleman But since his lucky day He wasn't worth the skin He was printed on Money wouldn't change him, he'd be saying Money wouldn't take him, but he'd be praying And now he's thrown our principles away Cause it's come his way Just remember who you were only yesterday Because now you're speaking down to me Like I'm a thousand miles away
