Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, la la la.
Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, la la la.

Jenny's got a brand new car,
She drives it past 90
Up and down the stars boulevards
She even looks the part.

And everyone on my block is getting bigger
the handshakes are getting stronger than ever
I like the way they walk.

But you don't got nothing but money,
And the money gets the best of you.
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave.

Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, la la la.
Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, la la la.

The shots you took they went to your head
You're playing Tom Petty better than he plays himself
God bless you're used to your wealth

And look who's on the late night TV
Your presence is stellar
Andy always thought you were better back at his school indeed

But you don't got nothing but money,
And the money gets the best of you.
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave.

Ahhhhhhh, ooooooo, OOOO

Oh the big machines, how they push you through.
You're climbing the stairs, you're going somewhere
Congratulations!
What you gonna do when they're all over you?
I've seen it before, you're dropped at the door
No money, no more.

But you don't got nothing but money,
And the money gets the best of you.
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave.

I said you don't got nothing but money,
And the money gets the best of you.
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave on through.

I said hey man you don't know, because this means nothing to you.
I said hey man you don't know, all the shit that I went through.
