The Wisdom Behind The Smile (ca$h)

I was standing

On one of the Seine bridges

Saying goodbye to

Lydia Tracy

When the news broke

That we had been used + abused

Since money began

To some its kinda rude

To refuse

The bootleg version

Of an act of love

Blufunk individuals

Can change that phrase to bribery

Change that phrase to bribery

Change that phrase

Because the wisdom

Behind the smile

Is called "Cash"

I know that money lies to me

It's freedom on paper

But nobody's free

You know it's gonna kill for me

To see so many people diggin

"The bootleg version"

Money bleeds

Greed is a need

Only to those

Only to those

Only to those you can't afford it

They're diggin the bootleg version
