More Love For The Money

More Love For The Money Written by Styx Lead vocals by Lawrence Gowan Listen on YouTube The cats were on the table They were waiting for their dinner ‘til the children came and shooed them all away Daddy’s at the racetrack Desperate just to pick one winner Will he ever be their hero of the day Mom paid the price She sacrificed for nothing of value And why is it I buy this shit That nobody wants to? More love for the money That’s all I’m after More Buzz for the honey And a bit more laughter Why is that so much to ask More for the money Baby better get mine fast At the mall again I’m feeling desperate and uncertain God it’s got to be here somewhere I believe My demographic profile Knows it’s show time Raise the curtain Start the comedy and let me be naïve A circus flea from A to B I jump for my keeper In search of true enlightenment For ten percent cheaper More love for the money That’s all I’m after More Buzz for the honey And a bit more laughter Why is that so much to ask More for the ...

  Pieces of Eight Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung It's six o'clock Good morning sounds are everywhere The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze blows through my hair I hurry through my life never stopping to see How beautiful it was meant to be I'm just a prisoner in a king's disguise Broken dreams as we shuffle by It's six o'clock it's quitting time I'm done for the day Out on the streets I overheard a lady say We now have everything or so people say But now this emptiness haunts me every day We seek the lion's share never knowing why Come alive spread your wings and fly Pieces of eight The search for the money tree Don't cash your freedoms in for gold Pieces of eight Can't buy you everything Don't let it turn your heart to stone Aku-Aku Written by Tommy Shaw Aku-Aku

The Grand Illusion

The Grand Illusion Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube Welcome to the Grand illusion Come on in and see what's happening Pay the price, get your tickets for the show The stage is set, the band starts playing Suddenly your heart is pounding Wishing secretly you were a star. But don't be fooled by the radio The TV or the magazines They show you photographs of how your life should be But they're just someone else's fantasy So if you think your life is complete confusion Because you never win the game Just remember that it's a Grand illusion And deep inside we're all the same. We're all the same... So if you think your life is complete confusion Because your neighbors got it made Just remember that it's a Grand illusion And deep inside we're all the same. We're all the same... America spells competition, join us in our blind ambition Get yourself a brand new motor car Someday soon we'll stop to ponder what on...
