Songs with the best lines about MONEY by The Man In Black Johnny Cash and his daughter Rosanne Cash. On occasion of the republica 2023 in Berlin. Curated by The Borderlord.
I am well aware of Socrates’ saying „I know that I know nothing.“ On the other hand, at the nexus of Country music and digitalization, one can‘t argue that I am the one slated for speaking up. So with CASH being the motto of this year‘s re:publica I put together this playlist: Songs with the best lines about MONEY by The Man In Black Johnny Cash and his daughter Rosanne Cash.
A few examples:
There‘s a hole in daddy‘s arm where all the money goes
How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it’s so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
You never count your money when you’re sittin’ at the table
There’ll be time enough for countin’ when the dealing’s done
I was there to steal her money, to take her rings and run
Then I fell in love with the lady and got away with none
He eats money like a train eats coal
He burns it up and leaves you in the smoke
He said: “You ain’t makin’ any money, are you?”
I said: “You’ve been readin’ my mail.”
Old memories linger still, a cup of coffee and a dollar bill
Lay on the table like a fortune, waiting for us to read
And I don’t care if the money’s no good, you take what you need and you leave the rest
Baby there ain’t no money in the ones that you really love
Smiles don’t cost money, give it away!
