Jefferson Starship Fast Buck Freddie Lyrics

He said,"Hold a dollar bill up to the mirror
And I'll show you something funny
It's only a fast buck, but
It's so hard to make that kind of money"

Now it's hard to get serious
When the joker is laughing
And by now the joker is wild

It's hard to keep laughing
When a rich man's reflection
Looks like a gun that's gonna smile

What's going on? I ask you
What's going on? Can you see?
What's going on? I ask you and
Who's coming on? Is it you or me?

Coming on while it's still soft and warm
Burn it dry before the fiery storm
Sing it now while you still have a song
Grab on now while you're still feeling strong

How long, how long would you like it? How long, how long will it be?
How long, how long can we take it?
How long before we take it back?
You and me, think fast

I was thinking that I should be singing along
Think fast I think he's coming through
Think fast, he thinks he's running you

I was thinking that I should be singing along
Think fast, he thinks he's coming in
Think fast, I think he's wearing thin

I was thinking that I should be singing along
Think fast, he's taking all your time
Think fast, you know he's out of line

But who cares
You know you can
You will, you know you can

Sing it now while you still
Sing it now while you still
Sing it now while you still have a song
