Try to make ends meet
You’re a slave to money then you die

you’re a slave to money then you die. funny lyric, considering the Rolling Stones sued this guy and took all his songwriting royalties. bittersweet indeed
Yeah, but apropos lyrics, timed perfectly for the period in which it was released (1997) and into the present .
I didn’t know about the Rolling Stones thing. I looked it up to see if they made a lifetime’s worth of money with one song, I remember that was played constantly during the Olympics one year. the riff was from some bizarre Andrew Oldham string version of ‘the last time.’ I guess someone from the stones camp was watchIng the Olympics and said hey wait a minute
