Reverend Mothers one for the money

Select language to translate this lyric

One for the money
Two to make it grow
Three is how it started
So shut up, I'll letcha know
I see the people coming down
While I'm clawing my way up
See them look me in the eyes
And I feel it in my gut
What I do, you know I do it for free
I throw my voice around town
Sounding mad as can be
Contract killer, you're the victim for sure
I'm a whore
I'm a whore
I'm a whore
One for the money
So they can stay alive
From their corporate funded canopies
Dropping us like flies
Trimming perfect hedges
With clippers made of lies
Like defendants in the courtroom
With lousy alibis
If you ain't sellin' records
You ain't talkin' to me
I've got a 100k advance and a studio fee
Sign to an Indie or check DIY
Nice try
Nice try
Nice try
One for the money
Two to make it grow
Back at square one
But that's just how it goes
See the people coming down
To join me in my rut
See them look me in eyes
And I feel it my gut
What I do, you know I do it for free
I throw my voice around town
Sounding mad as can be
Contract killer, you're the victim for sure
I'm a whore
I'm a whore
I'm a whore
