Money Becomes King (Album Version) - Tom Petty[00:00:02]

If you reach back in your memory[00:00:13]

A little bell might ring[00:00:16]

About a time that once existed[00:00:20]

When money wasn't king[00:00:23]

If you stretch your imagination[00:00:26]

I'll tell you all a tale[00:00:29]

About a time when everything[00:00:33]

Wasn't up for sale[00:00:36]

There was this cat named Johnny[00:00:41]

Who loved to play and sing[00:00:44]

When money wasn't king[00:00:48]

We'd all get so excited[00:00:56]

When John would give a show[00:00:59]

We'd raise the cash between us[00:01:02]

And down the road we'd go[00:01:05]

To hear him play that music[00:01:09]

It spoke right to my soul[00:01:12]

Every verse a diamond[00:01:16]

And every chorus gold[00:01:18]

The sound was my salvation[00:01:24]

It was only everything[00:01:27]

Before money became king[00:01:30]

Well I ain't sure how it happened[00:01:38]

And I don't know exactly when[00:01:41]

But everything got bigger[00:01:44]

And the rules began to bend[00:01:48]

And the tv taught the people[00:01:51]

How to get their hair to shine[00:01:54]

And how sweet life can be[00:01:58]

If you keep a tight behind[00:02:01]

And they raised the cost of living[00:02:04]

And how could we have known[00:02:07]

They'd double the price of tickets[00:02:11]

To go see Johnny's show[00:02:14]

So we hocked all our possessions[00:02:24]

And we sold a little dope[00:02:27]

And went off to rock 'n' roll[00:02:30]

We arrived there early[00:02:45]

In time to see rehearsal[00:02:48]

And John came out and lip synched[00:02:51]

His new lite beer commercial[00:02:55]

And as the crowd arrived[00:02:58]

As far as I could see[00:03:01]

The faces were all different[00:03:04]

There was no one there like me[00:03:07]

They sat in golden circles[00:03:13]

And waiters served them wine[00:03:16]

And talked through all the music[00:03:19]

And to John paid little mind[00:03:22]

And way up in the nosebleeds[00:03:26]

We watched upon the screen[00:03:29]

They hung between the billboards[00:03:32]

So cheaper seats could see[00:03:35]

Johnny rock that golden circle[00:03:40]

And all those VIPs[00:03:43]

And that music that had freed us[00:03:47]

Became a tired routine[00:03:50]

And I saw his face in close up[00:03:53]

Tryin' to give it all he had[00:03:56]

And sometimes his eyes betrayed him[00:04:00]

You could see that he was sad[00:04:03]

And I tried to rock on with him[00:04:06]

But I slowly became bored[00:04:09]

Could that man on stage with everything[00:04:13]

Somehow need some more[00:04:16]

There was no use in pretending[00:04:26]

No magic left to hear[00:04:29]

All the music gave me[00:04:33]

Was a craving for lite beer[00:04:35]

As I walked out of the arena[00:04:39]

My ears began to ring[00:04:42]

And money became king[00:04:45]
