Money Made You Mean - Indigo Girls

So money made you mean

And that’s not how it’s supposed to be

You’re ready to challenge and defend

Yeah, but for all the wrong reasons

How much do we really need?

A question, if you have to ask

Just means what it means-

The question that says everything

Right and left it’s all the same conspiracy

Just cause you ask, doesn’t make a difference to me

You could keep it all or give it away

But where did it come from in the first place?

Robbing Peter to pay me, and I’ll just be

Giving it back to Peter to feel free

Now you have to fix everything that’s broke

Cause it’ll never leave you alone

Reinvent the wheel, be the butt of a joke

Take the long road to charity

Right or left it’s all the same conspiracy

Robbing Peter to pay Paul

Or robbing Peter to pay me

Robbing Peter to pay Paul

Or robbing Peter to pay me

Yeah it’s just too hard, oh well, jump in

Forget about the sharks and swim

Cause now you’re one, now you’re one

You can’t deny it anymore

Right or left it’s all the same conspiracy

Robbing Peter to pay Paul

Or robbing Peter to pay me

Robbing Peter to pay Paul

Or robbing Peter to pay me

You can’t deny it anymore
