You think you can fool the devil with all your fancy things
And even your good friends gotta kiss your ring
Honey, you ain't nothing but the beating of your heart

You think you can rise above it
with a swagger and a smile
But you'll be in the same hole in a little while
When you stand next to a dead man
God can't tell you apart

You know it's forever, the time that you're dead
And it's a long way to heaven, baby
with only your breath

They say time is money, yeah
But honey, money ain't time
Money ain't time
Money ain't time, time, time, time
No, no, no
Money ain't time

You think there ain't nothing you can't buy or sell
And if anyone gets in your way
you'll send them straight to hell
But honey, you ain't got the power
to keep from getting old

Well, you look down upon us all
Every single one
So suave and smug in your tower
When the day is done, what you'll never understand
Not everybody's digging for gold

You know it's forever, the time that you're dead
And it's a long way to heaven, baby
with only your breath

They say time is money, yeah
But honey, money ain't time
Money ain't time
Money ain't time, time, time, time, time
No, no, no
Money ain't time

Oh, that's the devil to cut you a break
He'll take your money, take all he can take
But he won't save you from the fire on the stake

You know it's forever, the time that you're dead
And it's a long way to heaven, my baby
with only your breath

They say time is money, yeah
But honey, money ain't time
Money ain't time
Ooh, money ain't time, time, time, time, yeah
Money ain't time
