what's the story, old glory

ain't it kinda funny that there's always been money

changin' hands all over the world

i always thought the best things in life were free

now

i may be square

but it don't seem fair

what there pickin' in this pocket of mine

and a dollar for a donut ain't to far down the line

what's the story

old glory?

how come your turning green?

in the land of milk and honey

you've got to have money

i bet you know what i mean

even though we're willin

we can't have any children

cause there ain't nobody home night or day

working eighty hours and still too many bills to pay

well

i got my car but i can't get far

on a dollar's worth of gasoline

i even give up my subscription to rolling stone magazine

so

what's the story

old glory

how come your turning green?

in the land of milk and honey

you've got to have money

i bet you know what i mean

what's the story

old glory?

how come your turning green?

in the land of milk and honey

you've got to have money

i bet you know what i mean

now ain't it a sin how the japanese yen

had driven down our dollar bill

it'd gettin' harder to find somethin' made in the u. s. of a. so ride your kawasaki and eat your teriyaki

i'll tell you what they're gonna do

it won't be long till they're buying me up and you

so

what's the story

old glory

how come your turning green?

in the land of milk and honey

you've got to have money

i bet you know what i mean

what's the story

old glory?

how come your turning green?

in the land of milk and honey

you've got to have money

i bet you know what i

i bet you know what i

i bet you know what i mean
