One more card and it's 22
Unlucky for him again
He never had respect for money it's true
That's why he never wins

That's why he never ever has enough
To treat his lady right
He just pushes her away in a huff
And says, "Money don't matter tonight"

Money don't matter tonight
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away

That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday
And it sure don't matter tonight

Look, here's a cool investment
They're tellin' him he just can't lose
So he goes off and tries to find a partner
But all he finds are users

All he finds are snakes in every color
Every nationality and size
Seems like the only thing he can do
Is just roll his eyes, and say that

Money don't matter tonight
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away

That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday
And it sure don't matter tonight

Ooh wee ooh, don't matter
It don't matter tonight, no

Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason
To send a child off to war
So what if we're controllin' all the oil?
Is it worth a child dying for?

If long life is what we all live for
Then long life will come to pass
Anything is better than the picture of the child
In a cloud of gas and you think you got it bad

Money don't matter tonight
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away

That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday
And it sure don't matter tonight

Money don't matter tonight
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away

That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
Money didn't matter yesterday
And it sure don't matter tonight
