Tony vincent shake the money tree lyrics

Said that he would answer every need

said that we could trust him and believe

if your God hasn't found an answer yet

you better find a way to hedge your bets

got to make yourself a name

cross your fingers for that lucky break



Too insecure to live by faith

we're always looking for some other way



Shake, shake, shake the money tree

shake, shake, shake the money tree

trusting in our wealth

trusting in ourselves

shake, shake, shake the money tree



Contentment is a secret we can learn

regardless of the money that we earn

doesn't come by rising in the world

comes by taking Jesus at his word

he has promised to provide

everything we need for life

now we're caught inside a living lie



(bridge)



(chorus)



You gotta-gotta raise that sex appeal

you gotta-gotta work that business deal

you got to change what you cannot steal

deep inside you're scrounging for a meal

made a perfect idol of your wealth

everyman and woman for themselves

you burn your conscience on the cornershelf

you're dying while you're trusting in yourself
