[Intro]

I stayed at home today

And I'm not going back to work


[Chorus]

Money stinks, money stinks

This city stinks


[Verse 1]

Smell the power, smell the health

Smell the poverty of Americas wealth

Money smells of evil, greed

Capitalist wants and pumped up needs


[Chorus]

Money stinks, money stinks

This city stinks


[Verse 2]

Smell the logic, smell the jet planes

The dangerous goals and crooked aims

Smell the progress, smell the dirty money

Smells like shit, this isn't funny


[Chorus]

Money stinks, money stinks

This city stinks


[Verse 3]

You wanna know why the city stinks?

I'll tell you why the city stinks

Nobody cares about the air we breath

Nobody cares about the air we need

Smell the profit, smell the success

Smell the dying dream of the mighty west

Smell the factories, smell all the cars

The adult book stores and the topless bars

Smell the pretty people, smell their false pity

Smell the broken promise of the living city

Smell the real reason, smell, smell the one way plan

The real estate, the desperate, state of modern man

Smell the excess, smell the death

Smell the wet dream of this human mess
