The Drums - Money

Para los detractores la letra esta ya muy trillada y es bastante facilona, para los devotos enigmáticas y hasta reveladoras las palabras que habitan en el nuevo avance de los andróginos The Drums y que parecen querer hablarnos de dinero o de como se ahoga el amor a los demás bajo el precio de las cosas, cómo el optimismo es incapaz de resolver el crucigrama de este capitalismo que somete todo. Nuestra vida en estos mediáticos días gira al rededor de ese dinero que va ligado al éxito constantemente y más que al rededor del dinero, gira al rededor de la falta del mismo, de la imposibilidad de ser feliz ante la carencia del preciado metal. La falta de imaginación, la pobreza espiritual que ha resumido todo al compra, compra y al gasta, gasta que diría La Mala

Jonathan Pierce, líder de The Drums, ha comentado que la canción es un poco autobiográfica:

“Va sobre ser un perdedor en el amor, sabes, y desear ser mejor. Solo… ser un perdedor total. Siempre fastidiándola, hagas lo que hagas, y nunca siendo capaz de sobrepasar determinado punto”.

The Drums - Money

Before I die, I'd like to do something nice
Take my hand, yeah, let me take you for a ride
You hit me yesterday, because I made you cry
So before I die, I'd like to do something nice

Uhh-huh

I want to buy you something, but I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
I want to buy you something, but I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money

And if I find a car, I would trade in my car
If I had a gun, I would trade in my gun
And when ran from the butcher, we rushed to the city (?)

And now there's nothing to be done
Nothing to be done
Nothing to be done
Nothing to be done

I want to buy you something, but I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
I want to buy you something, but I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money

*Instrumental*

I want to buy you something, but I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
I want to buy you something, but I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money

And I wanna buy you something, but I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
I want to buy you something, but I don't have any money
No, I don't have any money
