Ain't it kinda funny that there's always been money,
Changin' hands all over the world,
I always thought the best things in life were free,
Now, I may be square, but it don't seem fair,
What there pickin' in this pocket of mine,
And a dollar for a donut ain't to far down the line

Chorus:
What's the story, old glory? ,
How come your turning green? ,
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money,
I bet you know what I mean
Even though we're willin, we can't have any children
Cause there ain't nobody home night or day,
Working eighty hours and still too many bills to pay,
Well, I got my car but I can't get far,
On a dollar's worth of gasoline,
I even give up my subscription to rolling stone magazine

Chorus:
So, what's the story, old glory,
How come your turning green? ,
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money,
I bet you know what I mean
Chorus:
What's the story, old glory? ,
How come your turning green? ,
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money,
I bet you know what I mean
Now ain't it a sin how the japanese yen,
Had driven down our dollar bill,
It'd gettin' harder to find somethin' made in the u s of a,
So ride your kawasaki and eat your teriyaki,
I'll tell you what they're gonna do,
It won't be long till they're buying me up and you

Chorus:
So, what's the story, old glory,
How come your turning green? ,
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money,
I bet you know what I mean
Chorus:
What's the story, old glory? ,
How come your turning green? ,
In the land of milk and honey, you've got to have money,
I bet you know what i,
I bet you know what i,
I bet you know what I mean
