I'd Rather Be Rich - Original Rehearsal

I'd rather be rich, it sounds a little funny
 If diggin' a ditch would earn me lots of money
 I'd dig like a fool in the land of milk and honey
 Where everything's cool, provided you have money
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 I'd rather be rich, just short of being greedy
 I'm eager to switch, to hell with being needy
 I'd rather be rich, the truth of cash is tragic
 The system's a bitch, but money works like magic
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 Money makes the world go round
 Buy and sell it by the pound
 Bitter truth that I have found
 Food to eat, shoes on your feet
 Maybe some heat, you live with defeat
 Money gets you justice, money sets you free
 Money makes it possible to be or not to be
 Money is the power, money is the key
 It's sad and so unfortunate, but real as it can be
 Yeah, yeah, yeah

 I'd rather be rich, than what the other choice is
 My thumb out to hitch, or riding in Rolls Royces
 'Cause I ain't no fool in the land of milk and honey
 Where everything's cool until you lose your money
 Yeah, yeah
