Don’t Mean Nothing to Me Lyrics
Money came, money went
Never meant that much to me
All I ever had I spent
I don’t have the greed disease
In the land of blood and money
You’re not far from the maddening crowd
Life is hard it sure ain’t funny
Mercy’s not something you show out loud
Man’s been pleading
Man’s been grieving
Man’s been bleeding
All the way to Armageddon from Eden
People came, people went
Didn’t stay with me that long
Never could say what I meant
My heart was sold for a song
I have felt the taste of glory
And been looked on with flowering hate
You and I got our own stories
Better tell before it gets too late
Man’s been pleading
Man’s been grieving
Man’s been bleeding
All the way to Armageddon from Eden
Today came, today went
Every thing stayed just the same
That last letter that you sent
Killed all hope that had remained
Can flog a dead horse sometimes
But in the end your vanity sinks
Some things just can’t be defined
Night time comes quicker than you might think
Me and Mary Jane
Walked in the rain
Down the hazy lane
But she just bought me pain
And set my world a-flame
It was just a losing game
I’ll never be the same
So long Mary Jane, So long Mary Jane
Man’s been pleading
Man’s been grieving
Man’s been bleeding
All the way to Armageddon from Eden
Money came, money went
Never meant that much to me
All I ever had I spent
I don’t have the greed disease
In the land of blood and money
You’re not far from the maddening crowd
Life is hard it sure ain’t funny
Mercy’s not something you show out loud
Man’s been pleading
Man’s been grieving
Man’s been bleeding
All the way to Armageddon from Eden
People came, people went
Didn’t stay with me that long
Never could say what I meant
My heart was sold for a song
I have felt the taste of glory
And been looked on with flowering hate
You and I got our own stories
Better tell before it gets too late
Man’s been pleading
Man’s been grieving
Man’s been bleeding
All the way to Armageddon from Eden
Today came, today went
Every thing stayed just the same
That last letter that you sent
Killed all hope that had remained
Can flog a dead horse sometimes
But in the end your vanity sinks
Some things just can’t be defined
Night time comes quicker than you might think
Me and Mary Jane
Walked in the rain
Down the hazy lane
But she just bought me pain
And set my world a-flame
It was just a losing game
I’ll never be the same
So long Mary Jane, So long Mary Jane
Man’s been pleading
Man’s been grieving
Man’s been bleeding
All the way to Armageddon from Eden
There’s a spider in the web
There’s a spider in the web
And there’s a monkey in the tree
There’s a fly in this cup of tea
And it don’t mean nothing to me
Don’t mean nothing
There’s a spider in the web
And there’s a monkey in the tree
There’s a fly in this cup of tea
It don’t mean nothing to me
Don’t mean nothing
What became of you my love
When the rain was pouring down
What became of you my love
Did you go under and drown?
Someone’s ringing my bell
I don’t feel like playing out
Someone’s ringing my bell
I don’t have the strength to shout
There’s a spider in the web
And there’s a monkey in the tree
There’s a fly in this cup of tea
And it don’t mean nothing to me
Don’t mean nothing
And there’s a spider in the web
And there’s a monkey in the tree
There’s a fly in this cup of tea
And it don’t mean nothing to me
Don’t mean nothing
Fat boys, thin boys
Queens and kings
Plastic bracelets
Diamond rings
Don’t mean nothing
Don’t mean nothing to me
Don’t mean nothing
So what became of you my love
When the rain was pouring down
What became of you my love
Did you go under and drown?
There’s a spider in the web
And there’s a monkey in the tree
There’s a fly in this cup of tea
It don’t mean nothing to me
Don’t mean nothing
And there’s a spider in the web
There’s a monkey in the tree
There’s a fly in this cup of tea
And it don’t mean nothing to me
Don’t mean nothing
There’s a spider in the web
And there’s a monkey in the tree
There’s a fly in this cup of tea
Don’t mean nothing to me
Don’t mean nothing
