Eddie Harris - I Need Some Money Lyrics

I need some money
I need some money
I need some money

Prices rising with the sun
Wages stay the same
Every time I think I'm up
I'm down, but who's the blame
Coming out the grocery store
I feel like I've been beat
Cost of groceries don't make sense
Check out the price of meat

Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high

I need some money
I need some money
I need some money

Cars, gas, and taxes too
Clothes, shoes, what can I do
Buses, rent, it's a crying shame
I've been invited to the Poor Boy Hall of Fame

Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high

I need some money
I need some money
I need some money

Layoffs, strikes, have only just begun
Planes, trains, can't afford one
Phones, heat
Ask the question why
With the cost of living today
You can't afford to die

Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
Everything is so damn high
