It's hard when you're
Staying way past 5
Every single night
For some crazy deadline
And we're all so confined by the need
To always make ends meet
'Cause if you're not earning
You could end up on the street
And that's no place to live

Chasing dollars with a baseball bat in hand
Some folks'll never understand
I'm asking you to be a man
But the money won't pay
Money won't pay
Money won't pay
Money won't pay
Money won't pay

Money won't pay to dance the night away
So forget the rent and get on down
Working all day, you sure deserve a raise
So let's spin the beat and get higher

But it's true
That parties stop too soon
When there's work to do
But you'll always have a crew
Who want to be with you
And so when it's back to work again
Just think about your friends
And the good times they portend
No this is not the end

Money won't pay to dance the night away
So forget the rent and get on down
Working all day, you sure deserve a raise
So let's spin the beat and get higher

Money won't' pay

Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
Money won't pay, workin' all day
