Songtexte Money Blown - John Legend

It's a cautionary tale
All you brothers out there chasing that dough
Watch what you do
You should know
It won't save your soul

Don't let it fool you, brother
Beware of what you see
You've been consumed by all your visions of luxury
Betrayed your friends and burned the
Bridges that carry you
But when you need them later
They won't be there for you

You're so high now
You think you'll never fall
But when you come down, who will you call?

Whatcha gonna do when your money's blown?
Your friends are gone and you're all alone
Now you barely hanging on with no one else to run to
You should know it won't make you whole
You gain the world but you lose your soul
Spend your life in the search for dough
You'll find out it just won't save you

No (what you gonna do?)
No (what you gonna do?)
No (what you gonna do?)
No

You think that having money brings joy and peace to you
But the pursuit of it might bring out the beast in you
Chase the American Dream but can't face reality
That what you're chasing only lasts temporarily

You're so high now
Someday you're gonna fall
But when you come down, who will you call?

Whatcha gonna do when your money's blown?
Your friends are gone and you're all alone
Now you barely hanging on with no one else to run to
You should know it won't make you whole
You gain the world but you lose your soul
Spend your life in the search for dough
You'll find out it just won't save you

No (chase that cash)
No (get that dough)
No (but you need to know)
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah (hey, what you gonna do?)

Whatcha gonna do when your money's blown?
Your friends are gone and you're all alone
Now you barely hanging on with no one else to run to
You should know it won't make you whole
You gain the world but lose your soul
Spend your life in the search for dough
You'll find out it just won't save you

Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do

Whatcha gonna do when there's nowhere
(Nowhere to run to) oh
I think you're gonna find that it just won't
(Just won't save you) oh
Whatcha gonna do when there's nowhere
(Nowhere to run to)
You're gonna find that it just won't
(Just won't save you) oh

Whatcha gonna do when there's nowhere
(Nowhere to run to)
I think you're gonna find that it just won't
(Just won't save you) hey
Whatcha gonna do when there's nowhere to run to
I think you're gonna find that it just won't
(Just won't save you) hey, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah

(Just won't save you) hey
Nowhere to run to
Just won't save you
Nowhere to run to
Just won't save you
Nowhere to run to
