Red Money Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, can you feel it in the way
That a man is not a man?

[Chorus]
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red money
Can you hear it fall?
Can you hear it well?
Can you hear it at all?
[Verse 2]
I was really feeling good
Reet Petite and how'd you do
Then I got the small red box
And I didn't know what to do
'Cause my fingers could not grope
And I could not give it away
And I knew I must not drop it, stop it, take it away
[Chorus]
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red money
Can you hear it fall?
Can you hear it well?
Can you hear it at all?
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red money
Can you hear it fall?
Can you hear it well?
Can you hear it at all?
Can you hear it at all?
Can you hear it at all?
[Outro]
Red money
Red money
Red money
Red money
Such responsibility
It's up to you and me
