	Story Behind the Song Charlie was listening to some Hmong music that had kind of a droning odd- meter pattern that he really dug. He put it on his 4-track and brought it to band practice with the intention of creating a kind of mellow, artsy sort of song. Then Lila screwed things up by coming up with a heavy guitar riff over Charlie's 5/8 Hmong groove that became the verse. Charlie added a Rush-influenced chorus. Kent wasn't grooving on the drum part in the verse, so we haggled over it a bit, and put some stops in, which sounded cool. Perry added his lyrics which reflect his experience running his Taylor-Sound business. Kent convinced Charlie to hold back in the guitar solo, which he is not used to doing. It worked out well. Later Rob came to band practice and heard the song, and said: "Wow. That's a good song." We were happy because he's hard to impress. He added his bassline and that was that. When we recorded the song, the guitars went first, because Kent was out of town that week, and the recording was part of a 3-song student project at Hennepin Tech, so there was a tight schedule as far as studio time was concerned. First Charlie played the song to a click track. The next week, Lila put down her guitar part. Then Kent and Rob took their turn. It all went pretty quickly. Perry laid down the vocal tracks last because he had a cold that just wouldn't go away. He took some cold medication with something in it that he referred to as "effies." You can get them over the counter. Lyrics If you've got a golden notion, then you'd better forgive the lotion cause you ain't getting rubbed down any time soon. There is a price you pay directly when getting involved inside the money, especially when there's more than normal for you. Pre-Chorus: I want more than one man's fair share. I want some more, give me some more. There's never enough to be above. Oh, and if I just had a day to meditate in. I would stretch out like a lion. I had to sacrifice my holy side of me that used to rule me to make advances in the world of the loot. I feel I've got a fuckin' carrot danglin' in front of my face that never gets closer to me. Pre-Chorus: Chorus: But no, instead I'll be chasing it. I'll be chasing money. Solo: Pre-Chorus: Chorus: I would choose it over my lover's honey.
