You think you can fool the devil with all your fancy things
And even your good friends gotta kiss your ring
Honey, you ain't nothing but the beating of your heart
You think you can rise above it with a swagger and a smile
But you'll be in the same hole in a little while
When you stand next to a dead man, God can't tell you apart
You know it's forever, the time that you're dead
And it's a long way to heaven, baby, with only your breath
They say time is money, yeah,
But honey, money ain't time
Money ain't time
Money ain't time, time, time, time
No, no, no
Money ain't time
You think there ain't nothing you can't buy or sell
And if anyone gets in your way, you'll send them straight to hell
But honey, you ain't got the power to keep from getting old
Well, you look down upon us all
Every single one
So suave and smug in your tower
When the day is done, what you'll never understand
Not everybody's digging for gold
You know it's forever, the time that you're dead
And it's a long way to heaven, baby, with only your breath
They say time is money, yeah,
But honey, money ain't time
Money ain't time
Money ain't time, time, time, time, time
No, no, no
Money ain't time
Oh, that's the devil to cut you a break
He'll take your money, take all he can take
But he won't save you from the fire on the stake
You know it's forever, the time that you're dead
And it's a long way to heaven, my baby, with only your breath
They say time is money, yeah,
But honey, money ain't time
Money ain't time
Ooh, money ain't time, time, time, time, yeah
Money ain't time
