It Ain't the Money, Y'all
Earl Usry
5/13/20

Folks at the grocery store have jobs
Turns out that they're more important than ours
Cause we're professionals
Hedge fund executive confessionals

Our MBAs earn us a lot of pay
But its delivery folks who are needed today
When it's trying times
Corporate jocks ain't worth a dime

Nothing brings a smile like a home that's real
With food on the table while you're paying the bills
It ain't the money y'all
For those willing to answer the call

Politicians claim that they're working for you
But you don't have the access rich people do
Laws don't seem to apply
Funny how they all get by

Medical workers, they're the real heroes
Standing in the line of fire, they're the pros
Courage is a Mother saying bye to her kid
Knowing it could be the last time that she did

When it comes to what's important to all
Serving one another, answer the call
Money's not the measure that wins hearts and minds
Especially not mine

People who ain't authors keep writing their books
As long as there's money in books they can cook
They're serving no one at all
They never answer the call

Hannity and friends keep spinning their tales
We'd all be better off if they'd jump down a well
Their lying schemes
Are killing all our dreams

Medical workers, they're the real heroes
Standing in the line of fire, they're the pros
Courage is a Mother saying bye to her kid
Knowing it could be the last time that she did

When it comes to what's important to all
Serving one another, answer the call
Money's not the measure that wins hearts and minds
Especially not mine

Folks at the grocery store have jobs
Turns out that they're more important than ours
Cause we're professionals
Hedge fund executive confessionals

Our MBAs earn us a lot of pay
But its delivery folks who are needed today
When it's trying times
Corporate jocks ain't worth a dime

Medical workers, they're the real heroes
Standing in the line of fire, they're the pros
Courage is a Mother saying bye to her kid
Knowing it could be the last time that she did

When it comes to what's important to all
Serving one another, answer the call
Money's not the measure that wins hearts and minds
Especially not mine
