Ain't it kinda funny that there's always been money   Changin' hands all over the world   I always thought that the best things in life were free   Now I may be square but it don't seem fair   What they pickin' from this pocket of mine   And a dollar for a donut ain't too far down the line      What's the story, old glory   How come you're turnin' green?   In the land of milk and honey   You've got to have money   I bet you know what I mean      Even though we're willin', we can't have any children   'Cause there ain't nobody home night or day   Workin' eighty hours and still too many bills to pay   Well, I got my car but I can't get far on a dollar's worth of gasoline   I even gave up my subscription to the Rolling Stone magazine      So what's the story, old glory   How come you're turnin' green?   In the land of milk and honey   You've got to have money   I'm singin', you know what I mean      And you know what I'm talkin' about   I'm talkin' about USA dollar bill [Incomprehensible]   Oh, playin' my guitar      What's the story, old glory   How come you're turnin' green?   In the land of milk and honey   You've got to have that money   And so you know what I mean      Now ain't it a sin how the Japanese yen   Has driven down our dollar bill   It'd gettin' harder to find somethin' made in the U. S. of A.   So ride your Kawasaki and eat your teriyaki   I'll tell you what they're gonna do   It won't be long till they're buyin' up me and you      So what's the story, old glory   How come you're turnin' green?   In the land of milk and honey   You've got to have money   I bet you know what I mean      What's the story, old glory   How come you're turnin' green?   In the land of milk and honey   You've got to have that money   I think you know what I   I guess you know what I   I know you know what I mean
