Easy Money - Remastered 2022

Way up north, there's a whole lotta money
They got gals doing things they don't wanna do
They know pals on the force and the government they pay
They push pain to earn easy money
Go downtown, just to buy them a honey for the day

Lonesome Joe has a store on the corner
He's been there many years, working night and day
He's alright, left alone, long as he does what they say
Rainy days that used to be sunny
Every week, he pays easy money and he prays that they'll stay away

In ol' New York
Everyday people never talk
Of what they'll do one day
And in New York
They're laying out easy money

Way down south, there's a scam they got going
They got guys from the east, north and everywhere
Pushing girls on the street who are paying to be there
They own folks who should know much better
They sold out, they keep getting fatter and don't care
They just don't care

In ol' New York
Everyday people never talk
Of what they'll do one day
And in New York
They're living on easy money
It's your money
