Didn't have the money 'round to buy a Morry Thou   Been around and seen a lot, to shake me anyhow   Begged and borrowed, sometimes I admit I even stole   The worst crime that I ever did was playin' rock and roll      But the money's no good   Just get a grip on yourself   But the money's no good   Just get a grip on yourself      Suffering convictions on a two-way stretch inside   The air in here is pretty thick, I think I'll go outside   Committed for insanity and crimes against the soul   The worst crime that I ever did was playin' rock and roll      But the money's no good   Just get a grip on yourself   But the money's no good   Just get a grip on yourself   And you should know      Now I find from week to week, the sentence sticking fast   Turn the corner, rub my eyes and hope the world will last   Stranger from another planet, welcome to our hole   Just strap on your guitar and we'll play some rock and roll      But the money's no good   Just get a grip on yourself   But the money's no good   Just get a grip on yourself   And you should know
