Lyrics

Lump Sum - Joint Chiefs
(© 1995 Pushkin, Ramey)

All for one all for one lump sum
All for one all for one
All for one all for one lump sum
All for one all for one

Can you say what you mean and use words that you choose
Would it upset the seller that you just can't lose
It ain't smart to stay hot and be a Billboard charter
Be a lonely hearter be a blowpop tarter
Pray for 'morrow different skiff different sway
Some you motherfuckers make your money that way
Reach for the sky bow and pray
Say it sure don't pay to mean a thing you say

Chorus:
Now did it make you numb for one lump sum
Did it bring tears to your eyes
Another tale untold another old soul sold
Another young fool falls for a lie
Did it make you wise to be a living lie
Did it make you weak in the knees
So many dreads to bead so many mouths to feed
You got so many palms to grease

Gravy
Cake
How much money
Do you make
Moola
Bread
Can you take it with you
When you're dead

All for one all for one lump sum
All for one all for one
All for one all for one lump sum
All for one all for one

Can you say what you feel is it real what they say
Say you'd rather preach and teach yourselves a better way
But reality don't sell the price ain't right
Turn down your mind and bump and grind all night
Turn down your mind and bump and grind all night

Chorus

Said it and I damn well meant it
No intent to repent yet I ain't even dented it
Jester aim to sell his soul
Of the sole the Senate
Nearly made a ton but jumped the gun
Mr. Fun One already rented it
Any fool can pose a rhyme use the time to earn a dime
Grab the ring try to sing pull my string don't pay no mind
They can't say a word can't tell you a thing
Only drools like a dog when his master's bell ring
Heel heel my pocket book jump fetch my money
Lemme pull a cool mill said keep yourself a twenty
Monkey in a cage playin on a stage
I remember in your day when you paid your own way
Rather make a buck than mean a thing you say
Rather make a buck than mean a thing you say

Chorus

Did it make you numb for one lump sum
Did it make you numb for one lump sum
Did it make you numb for one lump sum
Did it make you numb for one lump sum
