People tell me that
I just daydream and waste my time (oh, oh)
But there's really
nothing that's gonna change my mind
'cause I'm doin' just fine
Stop complaining 'cause
I'm just trying to live my life
(Doin' what I want and
that's my reason to get up in the morning)

Hey, I'm just playing around
Messing around with the sound
Hey, is that why you call it
Money for nothing money for nothing
Hey, is it cause Im just having fun,
or cause I'm getting the job done
heey,why you wanna call it money for nothing money for nothing?

Im not made for
Getting paid for 9 to 5 ( oh no no no noo )
I'm just good at
What I'm doing if it feels right
You can say what you like
All I'm saying is
I'm just playing with things I like
Getting what I got coming
And they call it money for nothing

Hey, I'm just playing around
Messing around with the sound
Hey, is that why you call it
Money for nothing money for nothing
Hey, is it cause Im just having fun,
or cause I'm getting the job done
heey,why you wanna call it money for nothing money for nothing?

People tell me I
Just can't keep chasin' dreams in life
(Doin' what I want and That's my reason to get up in the morning)
That don't face me 'cause In the end at least I've tried
(Getting what I got coming)
And they call it money for nothing
