Doing It For the Money Foster The People
Lyrics
Just close your eyes
We're gonna run this light
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wasting time
Baby, we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
We're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Who's gonna rock the booze
We gotta strike a match and light the fuse
Now I'm never looking back
It's time to leave the future with the past
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I said it doesn't matter where I go
I am calling all the poets in the battle
I am shouting to the world
Let them know that we won't
Be afraid to step into the fight when you can't see the light
[Refren]
So close your eyes
We're gonna run this light
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wasting time
Baby, we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
We're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
[Zwrotka 2]
But if you [?] a soldier up
You better learn to shoot or learn to duck
There's no retreat and no escape
If we can dream then why are we wide awake?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I said it doesn't matter where I go
I am calling all the prophets into the battle
I am never going to change who I am
I won't feel the pressure on my back
I said it doesn't matter where I go
I am staring down the barrel of the gun
We are shouting to the world
Let them know that we are
Not afraid to step into the fight when we can't see the light
[Refren]
So close your eyes
We're gonna run this light
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wasting time
Baby, we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
We're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
[Bridge]
They say don't rush
And I'm addicted
I don't understand it
(?) switch
Saying what I want to
The pleasure comes (?)
Mostly it's another (?)
Slowly coming after you
[Refren]
So close your eyes
We're gonna run this light
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wasting time
Baby, we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
We're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
We're gonna run this light
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wasting time
Baby, we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
We're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Who's gonna rock the booze
We gotta strike a match and light the fuse
Now I'm never looking back
It's time to leave the future with the past
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I said it doesn't matter where I go
I am calling all the poets in the battle
I am shouting to the world
Let them know that we won't
Be afraid to step into the fight when you can't see the light

So close your eyes
We're gonna run this light
We live our lives
Yeah, we're not wasting time
Baby, we lost our minds
We're gonna get, gonna get
Get what we can
We're not doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
Doing it for the money
