Take the Money

[Verss 1]
I was hoping
You would lean on my side
I was counting
On all the years we go back
Expecting a different reaction

I've been throwing
Everything on the line
While you've been wishing
For an easier life
We thrive on separate motivations

[Pre-Chorus]
If you're gonna go for safe over trust
If you're gonna trade your peace for glory
If you're gonna go for lust over love
I'm not gonna stand in your way (In your way)

[Chorus]
Take the money and run away (Take the money)
Take the money and run away (Run away)
Take the money and run away from me (Run away for me)
Take the money and run away (Take the money)
Take the money and run away (Run away)
Take the money and run away from me (Run away for me)

[Verse 2]
I was hoping
You would cash on your pride
I was counting
On you to hop on the ride
I was thinking
That you would go for the long run

[Pre-Chorus]
If you're gonna go for fast over right
If you're gonna walk and run over me
If you're gonna go for silence over fight
I'm not gonna stand in your way (In your way)

[Chorus]
Take the money and run away (Take the money)
Take the money and run away (Run away)
Take the money and run away from me (Run away)
Take the money and run away (Take the money)
Take the money and run away (Take the money)
Take the money and run away from me (The money, run away)

[Bridge]
Go for fast over right
Go for silence over fight
You can trade your peace for glory
Go for safe over trust
Go for lust over love
Go ahead, walk over me

[Chorus]
Take the money and run away
Take the money and run away
Take the money and run away from me (Take the money)
Take the money and run away (Run away)

Take the money and run away (Take the money)
Take the money and run away (Run away)
Take the money and run away (Take the money)
Take the money and run away (Run away from me)
Take the money and run away from me
Take the money and run away (And run away)
Take the money and run away from me (Run away)
(Take the money and run away from me, yeah)
