Buy and sell the world, from a golden penthouse.
While your forked tongue, tastes a silver spoon.
Born into a name, but are you livin’?
Sixty-five floors high, buried in your tomb.
You’ve got your hand stuck in the honey pot,
Full of power and gold.
Sneerin’ at the world through your rich man eyes.
You’ve got your hand stuck in the honey pot,
Set in your ways.
Because you’re still chasing the money not, the soul.
All the yes men, you pay for yesin’.
Keep on buzzin’, while their palms are green.
You say you speak for everyman, but who’s listenin’?
When you can drop a dime, and buy a beauty queen.
You’ve got your hand stuck in the honey pot,
Full of power and gold.
Sneerin’ at the world through your rich man eyes.
You’ve got your hand stuck in the honey pot,
Set in your ways.
Because you’re still chasing the money not, the soul.
You’ve got your hand stuck in the honey pot,
Full of power and gold.
Sneerin’ at the world through your rich man eyes.
You’ve got your hand stuck in the honey pot,
Set in your ways.
Because you’re still chasing the money not, the soul.
You’ve got your hand stuck in the honey pot.
Hand stuck in the honey pot.
Hand stuck in the honey pot.
‘Cause you’re still chasing the money not, the soul.

“I love it when music can boil down to the basics. Raw, gritty and full of heart this song comes from the darker reaches of
the heart.”
- Nkechi Anele, Triple J
David Schaak loves nothing more than great lyrics, loud guitars and old technology. His music captures the Southern Rock spirit; simple songs about the human condition, played by a good old rock and roll band....more
