Lyrics

Make your money with a suit and tie
Make your money with shrewd denial
Make your money expert advice,
If you can wing it
Make your money with a power ply
Make your money with a buyout bribe
Make it lie as long as you mean it

I’m not king of comedy,
Grease the pig, give a squeeze (squeeze me)

Make your money with exploitation
Make it holy illumination
Say a prayer at every station
Don’t forget to ask for mercy
Make your money with a pretty face
Make it easy with product placement
Make it charged with controversy
I’m straight, I’m queer, I’m bi

I’m not king of comedy,
I’m not your magazine,
I’m not your television

Make your money, make it rich
Make it young and make it quick
Make your money on the jukebox, baby,
It’s pick up sticks,
Make your enemies, make your moves
Make your critics fumble through
Make it smart and make it schmooze
Make it look easy

I’m not king of comedy,
I’m not your magazine,
I’m not your television,
I’m not your movie screen
I’m not commodity (all together now)
I’m not commodity
I’m not commodity

“God’s Gonna Cut You Down”
Traditional / Johnny Cash

(Capo 1st fret)
Am
You can run on for a long time,
Dsus2          Am
Run on for a long time,
Am
Run on for a long time.
C              Dsus2       Em         Am
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down.
C              Dsus2       Em         Am
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down.

Am
Go tell that long tongue liar,
Am
Go and tell that midnight rider.
Am
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter,
C                  Dsus2        Em          Am
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down;
C                  Dsus2        Em          Am
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down.

Am
Well, my goodness gracious, let me tell you the news;
Dsus2                                   Am
My head’s been wet with the midnight dew.
I’ve been down on bended knee,
Talkin’ to the man from Galilee.

He spoke to me in a voice so sweet,
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels’ feet.
He called my name and my heart stood still
Am
When he said, “John, go do My will.”

Go tell that long tongue liar;
Go and tell that midnight rider.
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter,
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down.
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut ‘em down.

You can run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time.
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down;
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down.

Well you may throw your rock, hide your hand,
Workin’ in the dark against your fellow man.
But as sure as God made black and white,
What’s done in the dark will be brought to the light.

You can run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time,
Run on for a long time.
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down;
Sooner or later, God’ll cut you down.

Go tell that long tongue liar;
Go and tell that midnight rider.
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter,
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut you down.
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut you down.
Tell ‘em that God’s gonna cut you down.

“New Year’s Eve”
Tom Waits

C                                        G
The door was open, I was seething;
.                    C                      F
your mother burst in, it was freezing.
.                     C                  G           C
She said, “It looks like it’s trying to rain.”

I was lost, I felt sea sick;
you’d convinced me that he’d left;
You said keep talking, but don’t use any names.

.                       F
I scolded your driver and your brother;
.                                                                                    C
we are all old enough to know how long you’ve been hooked.
.                 F
And we’ve all been through the war, and each time you score,
.                                                                   C                     G
someone gets hauled in, handcuffed, and booked.

It felt like four in the morning.
What sounded like fire works
turned out to be just what it was.

The stars looked like diamonds,
then came the sirens,
and everyone started to cuss.

All the noise was disturbing,
and I couldn’t find Irving;
it was like two stations on at the same time.
And then I hid your car keys,
and I made black coffee,
and I dumped out the rest of the rum.

Nick and Socorro broke up,
and Candice wouldn’t shut up, and
Fin he recorded the whole thing.

Ray he said, “Damn you,”
and someone broke my camera,
and it was New Year’s Eve, and we all started to sing:

F           C                           G
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and
C                         F
never brought to mind;
F           C                           G
should auld acquaintance be forgot for
Am             F              C
the sake of auld lang syne.

I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas,
and I didn’t ever plan to come back.
I had only a few things,
two hundred dollars, and my records in a brown paper sack.
I ran out on Sheila, everything’s in storage;
Calvin’s right, I should go back to driving truck.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and
never brought to mind;
should auld acquaintance be forgot for
the sake of auld lang syne.

“All For You”
Sister Hazel

(Capo 1st fret)

Am        D
Finally I figured out,
But it took a long, long time.
But now there’s a turnabout,
Maybe ’cause I’m trying.

Em                 Am
There’s been times, I’m so confused.
All my roads, they lead to you.
Em            Am                   D
I just can’t turn and walk away…

G               C(add 9)    Am  D        G
It’s hard to say what it is I   see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
G  C(add 9)   Am           D      G        C(add9) – D – G
Enough to     prove, it’s all for you.

I thought I’d seen it all,
‘Cause it’s been a long, long time.
But then we’ll trip and fall,
Wondering if I’m blind.

There’s been times, I’m so confused.
All my roads, they lead to you.
I just can’t turn and walk away…

It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
Enough to prove, it’s all for you.

MIDDLE:
Am               Em                  Am                     D
Rain comes pouring down, falling from blue skies.
Words without a sound, coming from your eyes…

SOLO:  G  -  C(add 9)  -  Am  -  D  (repeat)

Finally I figured out,
But it took a long, long time.
But now there’s a turnabout,
Maybe ’cause I’m trying.

There’s been times, I’m so confused.
All my roads, they lead to you.
I just can’t turn and walk away…

SING A CAPPELLA:
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
Enough to prove, it’s all for you.

GUITAR & VOCALS:
It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you.
But words can’t say, and I can’t do
Enough to prove, it’s all for you.

G               C(add9)      Am     D
It’s hard to say…
It’s hard to say…
Am  D       G          C(add 9) – D – G
It’s   all for you.
