Formed in the summer of 1981 by high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hsker Dand The Replacements. Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will... Everything Can Happen in 1984 (later reissued as Say What You Will, Clarence... Karl Sold the Truck), Made to Be Brokenin 1986, While You Were Outin 1986, and the EP Clam Dip And Other Delightsin 1988. The band then switched to A&M, releasing Hang Timein 1988 and And the Horse They Rode in Onin 1990 under that label.

Money Talks Lyrics

Soul Asylum

Money talks these days and everybody listens
Were whipping out our wallets trying to but what were missing
Money screams out I need a slave
Im just trying to find some worker to dig my grave
Everybodys listening, everybodys listening, all those eyes are glistening
I need more, a little more, in a little while
I say those? ? ?
Machines?
Im just trying to find somebody to pay my bail
Money screams is says my souls for sale
Everybodys listening, everybodys listening, all those eyes are glistening
I need a maid to pick up my mess, help me in the morning, help me get dressed
Ill pay you when I get paid, Ill pay you when I get paid
Money talks these days, money talks these days
What you gonna do when the criminal says your money or your life?
(not used? )
I need more, Im bored, shine my shoes, wax my floor
Mew father of our powerful land of the free
I aint doing nothing, Ill just jire someone to do it for me
No matter how small george gets hell still talk louder than you
Dollars shrieking ha, ha, ha jokess on you
End everybodys listening, all those eyes are glistening
Rich bored, blind, and lone, better buy me a wife
Im saving up everything to buy me a knife
