Mad Money

Ya pick up the paper you turn on the television,
ya listen to the radio you talk to your friends,
and all ya hear is drugs
The eternal...ill

Ya listen to the radio you talk to your friends, and all ya hear is drugs
Hatred and strife,
And it just troubles your heart
But I know what the answer is

Drugs, killings,
Hatred and strife,
And it just troubles your heart
But I know what the answer is

Hatred and strife,
And it just troubles your heart
But I know what the answer is

Hatred and strife,
And it just troubles your heart
But I know what the answer is

Hatred and strife,
And it just troubles your heart
But I know what the answer is

Hatred and strife,
And it just troubles your heart
The answer is Jesus

But I know what the answer is
Hatred and strife,
That just troubles your heart
The answer is Jesus

But I know what the answer is

The answer is Jesus
The answer is Jesus
The answer is Jesus
The answer is Jesus

And people need Jesus in their hearts and those drugs’ll be gone
The answer is Jesus
And people need Jesus in their hearts and those drugs’ll be gone
The answer is Jesus
And people need Jesus in their hearts and those drugs’ll be gone

And I’m asking my friends to give a hundred dollars
And I’m asking my friends to give a hundred dollars
You may have a checking account

I’m asking my friends to give a hundred dollars
Just go get a check right now
And you may have a checking account

And I’m asking my friends to give a hundred dollars
You can just get a check right now
And you may have a checking account

And I’m asking my friends to give a hundred dollars
You can just get a check right now
And you may have a checking account

And I’m asking my friends to give a hundred dollars
You can just get a check right now
And write out a check for a hundred dollars
And write out a check for a hundred dollars

It may be that, you kinda hid some money there in the house somewhere you know
write out a check for a hundred dollars
It may be that, you kinda hid some money there in the house somewhere you know
write out a check for a hundred dollars
It may be that, you kinda hid some money there in the house somewhere you know

It may be that, you kinda hid some money there in the house somewhere you know
write out a check for a hundred dollars
It may be that, you kinda hid some money there in the house somewhere you know
write out a check for a hundred dollars
