Written during the Global Financial Crisis.
One of the most driving songs I've written :)

lyrics

Money To Burn
© 2009 Neil Porter
Capo on 3
I spent a lot of money
On a big, big house
I put a lot of dollars
In a bad, bad plan
Too much money
Going down the drain
I owe a lot of money to a bad, bad man

I spent a lot of money
Buying shares and things
I blew a lot of cash
Buying diamond rings
I flew around the country
In my flash jet plane
I owe a lot of money to a bad, bad man

I had money to burn
It can’t buy love
I had money to burn
Don’t grow on trees
I had money to burn
You can’t take it with you
I had money to burn
It just isn’t everything

I work all year
At an all day job
I spend a lot of time
With the folks I rob
I lost a lot of money
Way too much money
I owe a lot of money to a bad, bad man



I had money to burn
It can’t buy love
I had money to burn
Don’t grow on trees
I had money to burn
You can’t take it with you
I had money to burn
It just isn’t everything

Had a wife and kids
That I hardly saw
They spent all my money
And they wanted more
Too much money
Going down the drain
I owe a lot of money to a bad bad man

I spent a lot of money
On some big, black cars
I drank a lot of money
In my favourite bars
Too much money
I just threw it away
I owe a lot of money and its time to pay

Money to burn
Money to burn
Money to burn
Money to burn
Root of all evil!
