I was standing  On one of the Seine bridges  Saying goodbye to  Lydia Tracy  When the news broke  That we had been used + abused  Since money began  To some its kinda rude  To refuse  The bootleg version  Of an act of love  Blufunk individuals  Can change that phrase to bribery  Change that phrase to bribery  Change that phrase  Chorus  Because the wisdom  Behind the smile  Is called "Cash"  I know that money lies to me  It's freedom on paper  But nobody's free  You know it's gonna kill for me  To see so many people diggin  "The bootleg version"  Money bleeds  Greed is a need  Only to those  Only to those  Only to those you can't afford it  They're diggin the bootleg version  Chorus
