Above the Sun - Make Music Not Money

Paul Simon says we're living in an anti-art age
Craving just the maximum wage
The pissers and moaners and the trippers and stoners
Are all chasing paper today
Make music, not money
Make music, not money
Don't get me wrong, money's alright
But it's not all there is in this life
I'm not talking Top 40, not talking pop
Where are the ones who will put a stop
To the image obsession and the shallow confection
Just singing for a paycheck?
Make music, not money
Make music, not money
Don't get me wrong, money's alright
But it's not all there is in this life
Do you remember when being on the cover of Rolling Stone used to mean something?
Now all you gotta do is put a bomb
At the end of the Boston Marathon
Anything to keep the paying customer satisfied
But this customer ain't satisfied
Just fed up
Make music, not money
Make music, not money
Don't get me wrong, money's alright
But it's not all there is in this life
Do you remember when being on the cover of Rolling Stone used to mean something?
Now all you gotta do is build a wall
On the edge of a country bound to fall
Anything to keep them all on the other side
But this citizen ain't pacified
Just fed up
Make music, not money
Make music, not money
Don't get me wrong, money's alright
But it's not all there is in this life
Make music, not money
Make music, not money
Don't get me wrong, money's alright
But it's not all there is in this life
No it's not all there is in this life
No it's not all there is in this life
