| If you reach back in your memory a little bell might ring | |
| About a time that once existed when money wasn't king | |
| If you stretch your imagination | |
| I'll tell you all a tale | |
| About a time when everything wasn't up for sale | |
| There was this cat named | |
| JohnnyWho loved to play and sing | |
| When money wasn't king | |
| We'd all get so excited when | |
| John would give a show | |
| We'd raise the cash between us and down the road we'd go | |
| To hear him play that music it spoke right to my soul | |
| Every verse a diamond and every chorus gold | |
| The sound was my salvation | |
| It was only everything | |
| Before money became king | |
| Well, I ain't sure how it happened and | |
| I don't know exactly when | |
| But everything got bigger and the rules began to bend | |
| And the TV taught the people how to get their hair to shine | |
| And how sweet life can be if you keep a tight behind | |
| And they raised the cost of living and how could we have known | |
| They'd double the price of tickets to go see | |
| Johnny's show? | |
| So we hocked all our possessions and we sold a little dope | |
| And went off to rock and roll | |
| We arrived there early in time to see rehearsal | |
| And John came out and lip synced his new lite-beer commercial | |
| And as the crowd arrived as far as | |
| I could see | |
| The faces were all different there was no one there like me | |
| They sat in golden circles and waiters served them wine | |
| And talked through all the music and to | |
| John paid little mind | |
| And way up in the nosebleeds we watched upon the screen | |
| They hung between the billboards so cheaper seats could see | |
| Johnny, rock that golden circle and all those | |
| VIPsAnd that music that had freed us became a tired routine | |
| And I saw his face in close up tryin' to give it all he had | |
| And sometimes his eyes betrayed him you could see that he was sad | |
| And I tried to rock on with him but | |
| I slowly became bored | |
| Could that man on stage with everything somehow need some more? | |
| There was no use in pretending no magic left to hear | |
| All the music gave me was a craving for lite-beer | |
| As I walked out of the arena my ears began to ring | |
| And money became king |
