about

Yet another lyric by Rich Wayland. I put a reggae track to them and voila. Story about a bad guy who gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

lyrics

Hard Time For Easy Money

He thought that small time bank was a piece of cake
All he had to a one time hit and get his slice
Get away quick, he'd be living large and set for life

He's doin' hard time for easy money
The judge she really slammed the hammer down
He's doin' hard time for easy money
Nothing easy 'bout that easy money now
Nothing easy 'bout that easy money now

Mister Slippery made off like a bandit for years
Stole from the poor, showed no remorse for all of his greed
Now he's doin' life, he'll be dead before they set him free

He's doin' hard time for easy money
The judge he really slammed the hammer down
He's doin' hard time for easy money
Nothing easy 'bout that easy money now
Nothing easy 'bout that easy money now
