Meja’s hit single from the late ‘90s, taken from her second studio album as a solo artist, Seven Sisters. Despite its considerable success in Europe, the song has never been tremendously popular on the American side of the pond. It was pretty successful in Japan, though.
The lyrics seem to express...
[Verse 1]
Sometimes
I find another world inside my mind
When I realize the crazy things we do
It makes me feel ashamed to be alive
It makes me want to run away and hide
[Chorus]
It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dum dum da da dum dum
I don't think it's funny
To see us fade away
It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dum dum da da dum dum
And I think we got it all wrong anyway
[Verse 2]
We find strange ways
Of showing them how much we really care
When in fact we just don't seem to care at all
This pretty world is getting out of hand
So tell me how we fail to understand
[Chorus]
It's all 'bout the money
All 'bout the dum dum da da dum dum
I don't think it's funny
To see us fade away
It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dum dum da da dum dum
And I think we got it all wrong anyway
Anyway...
’Cause it's all 'bout the money
Ah... ah...
[Chorus]
It's all 'bout the money
All 'bout the dum dum da da dum dum
I don't think it's funny
To see us fade away
It's all 'bout the money
All 'bout the dum dum da da dum dum
And I think we got it all wrong anyway
It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dum dum da da dum dum
I don't think it's funny
To see us fade away
It's all 'bout the money
It's all 'bout the dum dum da da dum dum
And I think we got it all wrong anyway
Anyway...
