“When a fellow says it ain't the money but the principle of the thing, it's the money.”
“We gotta get out while we're young,
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.”
"Born to Run"
Song lyrics, Born to Run (1975)
Context: In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream.
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines.
Sprung from cages on Highway 9,
Chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected
And steppin' out over the line.
Baby this town rips the bones from your back.
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap.
We gotta get out while we're young,
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run.
"The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing"
You Are What You Is (1981)
“In love with the money, I ain't ever letting go”
"Trap Queen"

“And everybody got they opinions
But they ain't got no money”
