Ain't No Money In The Truth

https://suno.com/song/fe20357b-d86b-463a-b470-d4ee67de6e72

I’m nobody, just a ghost in the feed,

They don’t hear the heart, they just count the streams.

All that shine on the screen don’t mean a damn thing,

If the soul don’t sell, they just cut the string.

Chorus

’Cause it’s all dollars, not a word for free,

They don’t care what it costs me to bleed.

Every line I write’s just fuel to burn,

But they’ll never pay what the lessons earned.

Yeah, I’m nobody — and maybe that’s the key,

’Cause there ain’t no money in the truth like me.

Verse 2

They trade souls for a fifteen-second fame,

Auto-tune the hurt till it sounds the same.

But I still write where the whiskey leaks,

And the jukebox hums what the rich can’t speak.

Chorus

’Cause it’s all dollars, not a word for free,

They don’t care what it costs me to bleed.

Every line I write’s just fuel to burn,

But they’ll never pay what the lessons earned.

Yeah, I’m nobody — and maybe that’s the key,

’Cause there ain’t no money in the truth like me.

Bridge

Maybe being nobody’s my crown,

Ain’t no puppet strings to pull me down.

They can keep their gold and their plastic dreams,

I’ll die broke singin’ what freedom means.

Final Chorus (bigger / outro feel)

Yeah, it’s all dollars that’s their creed,

But I’m rich in scars and melody.

Let ’em chase the light — I’ll stay unseen,

’Cause I’m nobody, and that’s still me.

Yeah, there ain’t no money — no, there ain’t no money,

In the truth like me.

    amigo...you live in a sea of joy. All the years of creating beautiful heart felt songs, with your unique deep believable voice. The artificial realm is, well, please pick up a guitar sing us something real. There's not enough art in artificial.

    Well there's no money in the music business , thats why I wrote it . But I might cut it , It be a $675.00 investment , Stealing Sunos melody . Thats what's happening in Nashville , Suno are demos to test the waters . is it a joke ? Depends what day it is really , A 71 year old man with a heart assursum , possible prostate cancer , face cancer, torn ligament . And a wife 37 years younger than me . Yes this is the biggest joke since George Carlin was alive . All the humor I have left tonight .


    Thanks Owen

  • Wow! This is a song that you feel in your soul. I absolutely loved the lyrics, melody, and the power behind it.

    There's no money in how this song made me feel! Priceless!

    Great song, Elvis. I enjoyed it immensely.

  • Hey Tammy , ha ha no money on how you feel
