El Peso

In this world, everything's a facade
Friendships and pals, all a charade
'Cause I've felt it myself, you see
If you've got cash, you're never in need
They'll roll out the red carpet for you
But if your luck takes a dive, it's true
You'll find out no one remembers you

I say this from my own experience
Friendships ain't worth a damn, it's clear
'Cause even good deeds come with a price
This is as true as I say it is
There are no friends without a motive
In this world, there are no friends
Even if they paint the world upside down

Now I bid farewell with these lines
Keep in mind what I'm telling you
There's no friend like a pocket full of cash
Disillusioned by the disdain
For making friends with those who ain't
In this world, there are no friends
Even if they paint the world upside down
