I'd Rather Be Rich (Original Rehearsal)

I'd rather be rich it sounds a little funny

If diggin' a ditch would earn me lots of money

I'd dig like a fool in the land of milk and honey

Where everything's cool provided you have money

Yeah yeah yeah

I'd rather be rich just short of being greedy

I'm eager to switch to hell with being needy

I'd rather be rich the truth of cash is tragic

The system's a ***** but money works like magic

Yeah yeah yeah

Money makes the world go round

Buy and sell it by the pound

Bitter truth that I have found

Food to eat shoes on your feet

Maybe some heat you live with defeat

Money gets you justice money sets you free

Money makes it possible to be or not to be

Money is the power money is the key

Sad and so unfortunate but real as it can be

Yeah yeah yeah

I'd rather be rich than what the other choice is

My thumb out to hitch or riding in

Rolls Royces

'Cause I ain't no fool in the land of milk and honey

Where everything's cool until you lose your money

Yeah yeah yeah
