James Taylor - Money Machine [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
When I was just a child
My life was, oh, so simple
And the ways of the great world seemed strange and funny
Then when I was a young man
I learned of that machine
That turns out all those bails of precious money

[Chorus 1]
Money[x10]

[Verse 2]
That money machine
Now you can measure you manhood by it
You can get your children to try it
You can bring your enemies to their knees
With the possible exception of the North Vietnamese

[Chorus 2]
It takes a strong hit from the money machine
Sitting on top, on top of the world
Strong hit from the money machine
Sitting on top, on top of the world

[Verse 3]
Oh, General Motors and IBM
AFL-CIO and all the king's men
When I began the game
See me singing about the fire and rain
Let me just say it again
I've seen fives and I've seen tens

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1][x2]

[Bridge]
Give me that dough[x4]

[Verse 4]
Been living in the lap of luxury too long
Please, Mr. DJ, won't you play my song
Maybe my baby will listen on the radio
Come back home to me
Help me spend my dough

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1][x2]

[Outro]
From that money machine
