I’m Painting Money
Konstantin Gropper
Mother and father
Your joy and pride
Residing at Bellevue
The emperor's wife
And we share
All our despair
Our pleasures too
Painting a fortune
A benefectress
Bank bills, soft angels
With adnate loss
And I will pay
On Judgment Day
Salvation's cost
When the whole world's on trial
There will be no denial
And all lovers from their graves will rise
They won't be shy a thing
But pain and suffering
I'm painting money to redeem all lovers
Scratching on gravel
Those chicken-claws!
I'm slaving for mankind
But no applause
But no one sees
Sweet Jesus, please
Heal your child!
When the whole world's on trial
There will be no denial
For all the lovers from their graves will rise
They won't be shy a thing
But pain and suffering
I'm painting money to redeem all lovers
