About This Track

'Money' by blackbear is a track on the album 'Sex' and was released in 2012. The lyrics are bluntly preoccupied with money as both motive and remedy, with the narrator questioning why they do what they do and noting how other people shift for cash. A recurring refrain insists it is “about the money”, while the verses add specific, emotional consequences: someone crying because they need money, and the idea of using it to deal with a recent past that includes abandonment.

"Money" is a track by blackbear, from the album Sex, released 31st October 2012. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about blackbear.

Lyrics

Money

[Verse 1: blackbear]

It's about the money

You wonder why I do the things I do

People changing every day for the money

It's for the money, it's for the money, oh

She's about the money

She holds her face in tears, 'cause she needs the money

To fix her past three years, he ran away

With the money, it's about the money

[Chorus: blackbear]

I spend all of my time chasing after the dime

I gotta find a way, another way to get paid

I'm about the money

I'm about the money

I'm about the money

I'm about the money (About the money)

I've gotta find a way (About the money)

Another way to get paid (About the money)

About the money

[Verse 2: blackbear]

It's for the money

You wonder why she stayed through all the hurting

And everything is fine 'til it's concerning

The money, the money

It's the kind of sign I need, 'cause nothing is for free

Morality or something more, yeah

Something more we can afford, yeah

[Chorus: blackbear]

I spend all of my time chasing after the dime

I gotta find a way, another way to get paid

I'm about the money

I'm about the money

I'm about the money

I'm about the money (About the money)

I've gotta find a way (About the money)

Another way to get paid (About the money)

About the money

[Outro: blackbear]

It's for the money
