Rush, "The Big Money"


As a reference for Seneca, Moral Letters 17.1:

Rush, "The Big Money" from Power Windows (1985)


Big money goes around the world
Big money underground
Big money got a mighty voice
Big money make no sound
Big money pull a million strings
Big money hold the prize
Big money weave a mighty web
Big money draw the flies 
Sometimes pushing people around 
Sometimes pulling out the rug 
Sometimes pushing all the buttons 
Sometimes pulling out the plug 
It's the power and the glory 
It's a war in paradise 
A Cinderella story 
On a tumble of the dice 
Big money goes around the world
Big money take a cruise
Big money leave a mighty wake
Big money leave a bruise
Big money make a million dreams
Big money spin big deals
Big money make a mighty head
Big money spin big wheels 
Sometimes building ivory towers 
Sometimes knocking castles down 
Sometimes building you a stairway
Lock you underground 
It's that old-time religion 
It's the kingdom they would rule 
It's the fool on television 
Getting paid to play the fool 
It's the power and the glory 
It's a war in paradise 
A Cinderella story 
On a tumble of the dice 
Big money goes around the world
Big money give and take
Big money done a power of good
Big money make mistakes
Big money got a heavy hand
Big money take control
Big money got a mean streak
Big money got no soul
