Money Makes the World Go Down (407bug guitar solo)

Well here we are at the beginning of a new year and i'm up on my soap box again, nothing changes....here's a song (like life could be described as "organised chaos" ) for the 1% who have all the money, share it around a little this year, please! (-;

Guitar - C&T 1, bug's 6-string.
Drums - Roland TD-12 V-Drums
Amps - Orange Tiny Terror/ Dual Terror, Marshall ASD-50D
Many thanks to 407 bug for the great guitar solo in at 2.54 - as always PLAY LOUD!

MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO DOWN

I COULD TAKE YOU TO THE PICTURES
IF THE CHEAP SEATS ARE FOR FREE.
I COULD TAKE YOU TO MY MOTHER'S
TO HAVE HOME MADE CAKES AND TEA.

I COULD BUY YOU FISH AND CHIPS
AND FIND A PARK BENCH BY THE SEA
BUT I COULDN'T REALLY RISK IT
IF YOU GO AND FORGET ME.

IF YOU'RE SURE THAT YOU DON'T LIKE ME
AND YOU WON'T SEE ME ANYMORE
I CAN GET A JOB BY MONDAY
AND WE'LL NEVER EVER BE POOR.

I COULD GET A LOAN WITH WONGA
JUST TO PAY OFF LAST MONTH'S RENT
THEN AN HOUR AFTER PAY DAY
AND THE MONEY'S ALL BEEN SPENT.

CHORUS - MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO DOWN
MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO DOWN
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TO GO ROUND
IT MAKES EVERYBODY DROWN
MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO DOWN.

THEY'RE SENDING MILLIONS TO THE THIRD WORLD
COUNTRIES TO HELP THE POOR TO SEE
BUT THEY'RE SPENDING IT ON STATUES
LEAVING THE POOR IN MISERY

THE BANKS HAVE ALL THE MONEY
WE'RE STILL PAYING OFF THE LOANS
THEY'RE BUYING ALL THE HOUSES
FOR INVESTMENT NOT A HOME.

OUR HARD EARNED SOCIAL WELFARE IS
COLLAPSING UNDER THE STRAIN
THE GREEDY POLITICIANS ARE
APPORTIONED TO THE BLAME.

PEOPLE POWER IS USELESS, IT
DOESN'T CHANGE A THING.
WE JUST LISTEN TO EXCUSES THEY'VE GOT
OTHER SONGS TO SING!

From forthcoming album "Keep Calm and Play Blues" out soon.
