Letra The Moneygoround de The Kinks original

Robert owes half to grenville
who in turn gave half to larry
who adored my instrumentals
and so he gave half to a foreign publisher
she took half the money that was earned in some far distant land
gave back half to larry and i end up with half of goodness knows what
oh can somebody explain why things go on this way
i thought they were my friends i canand't believe itand's me, i canand't believe that iand'm so green
eyes down round and round letand's all sit and watch the moneygoround
everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
do they all deserve money from a song that theyand've never heard
they donand't know the tune and they donand't know the words
but they donand't give a damn
thereand's no end to it iand'm in a pit and iand'm stuck in it
the money goes round and around and around
and it comes out here when theyand've all taken their share
i went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served
on the verge of a nervous breakdown i decided to fight right to the end
but if i ever get my money iand'll be too old and grey to spend it
oh, but life goes on and on and no one ever wins
and time goes quickly by just like the moneygoround
i only hope that iand'll survive
