It Used To Be About The Money

from It Used To Be About The Money by The Dublin City Rounders

lyrics

We didn't have no job
We didn't have no dough
So we made a band
and we made a show

To pay the rent
Gigged all over town
Just a bass-slappin' rocker
and a cowboy clown

It's hard to believe
It's kinda funny
But it used to be about the money

In this rockstar life
You always sick
From playin' late at night
and out in the sticks

We're just the guys from the TV
and the radio
But when we started out
We just wanted our dough

You should see us in the morning
Can't hardly even move
We shake a lot
But we never groove

Not tryin' to win
Just can't afford to lose
Got a real bad case
of the honky-tonk blues

Now listen here, children
Don't play in a band
Don't wear funny clothes
and play music with your hands

'Cause you'll be called an "Artist"
and you'll work all the time
There's a lotta better ways
to make a dime

about

The Dublin City Rounders Dublin, Ireland

If The Dublin City Rounders were a dog it would be a pink bulldog with a cowboy hat, a studded leather collar and sporting a sleeveless denim jacket.

Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads!
