Living our daily lives
Watching the world go round
Talking about the wife
Inviting the neighbours
Money wouldn't change us we'd be saying
Money wouldn't make us but we'd be praying
And you've thrown our principles away
Cause it's come your way
The waters hot and clean
It's wiping the dirt away
The work is very hard but you said you'd stay
Cause after all what would you do
With so much time it just isn't you
To just let fame and fortune run the show
But we both know
Just remember who you were only yesterday
Cause now you're speaking down to me
Like I'm a thousand miles away
He was always very kind
Always such a gentleman
But since his lucky day
He wasn't worth the skin
He was printed on
Money wouldn't change him he'd be saying
Money wouldn't take him but he'd be praying
And he's thrown our principles away
Cause it's come his way
Just remember who you were only yesterday
Cause now you're speaking down to me
Like I'm a thousand miles away
Just remember who you were only yesterday
Cause now you're speaking down to me
Like I'm a thousand miles a thousand miles away
Just remember who you were only yesterday
Only yesterday
