We all have dreams, we all have something that drives us, something that we'd rather be doing. It's that splinter in your brain that's always calling you to it. But for some reason or another, you've put that dream on the back burner while you go out in the world to achieve some level of financial success. That's what this song is about. It's about giving into the demands of society and losing that piece of yourself that really makes you whole. All so you can make a little bit of money and be more like what society tells you that you need to be. But it doesn't have to be that way ;)
lyrics
Yeah, you think you got you some control
and dreams they aren't for living, just for giving us a little hope
Oh well, I mean Don't you think it's funny
that living isn't loving but instead they made it all bout the money
Oh NO
Don't waste your time, just give into the pressure
happiness is measured by the treasure not the smiles of the weak
Oh yeah, you gotta get that money
Don't waste your breath, or time on all your thinking
just have another drink and keep your eyes off the ship when it's sinking
oh yeah, you gotta get that money
Oh Man, don't even watch the TV
Advice for how you're failing or a look at just how good it could be
That's right, because without it you got nothing
but something's always drilling your mind and if you find it you're free
Don't waste your time, just give into the pressure
happiness is measured by the treasure not the smiles of the weak
Oh yeah, you gotta get that money
Don't waste your breath, or time on all your thinking
just have another drink and keep your eyes off the ship when it's sinking
oh yeah, you gotta get that money

The variety of sound is amazing. These guys really know how to melt faces. Plus, Shake the Dope out is just about as fun as writing music gets. The Muddy Creek Kids
If you haven't heard these guys yet, you aren't really living. Their take on rock blues is Freaking Epic! Check out their cover of Born Under a Bad Sign. Albert King is smiling for sure! The Muddy Creek Kids
Surf, 60s rock, some psychedelia, you'll find a little bit of it all with these guys...and it freaking rocks! Awesome leads, driving beats, and the vocals marry it all perfectly. Love these dudes! The Muddy Creek Kids
Italian stoner powerhouse Tenebra has the heft of Sabbath and the hooks of Saint Vitus in their powerfully imposing tunes. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2022
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
