Lyrics

Lining Your Pockets

You've been lining your pockets for no other reason

Than to buy up the things that I gave without reasonable pay

Well hello my old friend you know I've been away

I'm not asking for much but please remember my name

You've been lining your pockets for no other reason

Than to buy up the things that I gave without reasonable pay

Well I wondered through fortune and I flirted with fame

But we never got the money we always gave it away

You've been lining your pockets for no other reason

Than to buy up the things that I gave without reasonable pay

Old benchmark on the park he got lost on the world

But he don't seem to know about any of it at all

He said - all the things that I wanted

You know I had to pay and pay...

And so I say...

You've been lining your pockets for no other reason

Than to buy up the things that I gave without reasonable pay

You've been lining your pockets for no other reason

Than to buy up the things that I gave without reasonable pay

You've been lining your pockets for no other reason

Than to buy up the things that I gave without reasonable pay

You've been lining your pockets for no other reason

Than to buy up the things that I gave without reasonable pay...
