"The Dark Side of the Moon".

Money
Get away
You get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money
It's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star, daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade,
you make the change
You rearrange me 'til I'm sane

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head
but it's not me

Us and them.
And after all we're only ordinary men.

The Great Gig In The Sky

And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

Time #PinkFloyd
