about

A Bronsons original written in 2014, bassist George's love of funk comes through in this song, played live for the first time at the Workshop, London in 2015.

lyrics

My baby works for the sick, the lame and the poor
My baby gives up her free time free to changing the law
You won't find me round there
I got things to live for

My mother gave years to raising by hand
My father did good things and bad for life, love and land
You won't catch me at that
You’ve got to understand - I'm too busy

Shovelling shit for cash
It's good to have principles I'm sure you agree
But you'll never get to heaven if you don't make lots of…

I could have been a saint, a martyr, a knight
I could have been a dreamer
I could have been someone who gives everything
Some kind of redeemer
You won't catch me at that
My way is nearer - nearer to the money I'm

Shovelling shit for cash
It's good to have principles I'm sure you agree
But you'll never get to heaven if you don't make lots of…
Money
