You go to work, work hard all day
At the end of the week, you collect your pay
That's just where it's at
It's as simple as that

You pay your bills the best that you can
But the rising cost sure hurts a family man
While the rich man gets fat
It's as simple as that

And the money goes so fast it ain't funny

Ba ha ha, it ain't funny

Your mind's made up to get that house on the hill
But you just don't know if you ever will
Because you can't get the cash
It's as simple as that

Cause the man from the bank, he won't give you a loan
Without putting a morgage on all that you own
A tit for a tat
That's how it is
It's as simple as that

Ooh, and the money goes so fast it ain't funny
Ba ha ha, it ain't funny
Nooo, it's as simple
It's as simple
It's as simple as that
Hey

Before you know it the kids are all grown
And married off with kids of their own
Now it's all in the past
True story, yeah
It's as simple as that

You've reached the autumn of your life
And all that's left is you and your wife
And a dog and a cat
That's how it is
It's as simple as that

Ooh, and the money goes so fast it ain't funny
Ba ha ha, it ain't funny

Nooo, it's as simple
It's as simple
It's as simple as that
Hey yeah

It's as simple
It's as simple
It's as simple as that

It's as simple
It's as simple
It's as simple as that

Hey yeah
It's as simple
