Money Talks

Preservation: Act 2

Scene: into flash's den - a night club

Scene: in flash's den, a night club partly converted into an office.
Sung by flash, floosies & spivs:

Show me a man who says he can live without bread
And i'll show you a man who's a liar & in debt.
There's no one alive who can't be purchased or enticed
There's no man alive who wouldn't sell for a price,
Money talks & we're the living proof,
There ain't no limit to what money can do
Money talks, money talks.

Money can't breathe & money can't see,
But when i pull out a fiver people listen to me.
Money can't run & money can't walk,
But when i write out a cheque i swear to god i hear money talk.
Money talks and, baby, when you've been bought
You pay attention everytime money talks.
Money talks, money talks.

Money talks & there's no doubt about it
Money talks & we can't live without it,
What's the point of living unless you've got money?
I just couldn't function without money.
Money talks, money talks,
Money talks, money talks.

Show me an upright respected man
And i'll have him licking my boots when i put money in his hand.
It rots your heart, it gets to your soul,
Before you know where you are you're a slave to the green gold.
Money talks & we're the living proof
There ain't no limit to what money can do.
Money talks you out of your self-respect,
The more you crave it the cheaper you get.
Money talks, money talks.

Money buys you time & people listen,
Money can buy a smile & make life worth living.
If you're ugly money can improve you.
I just couldn't face the world without mazuma.
Money talks, money talks.
