Jenny's got a brand new car
She drives it past 90
Up and down the stars boulevards
She even looks the part

And everyone on my block is getting bigger
The handshakes are getting stronger than ever
I like the way they walk

But you don't got nothing but money
And the money gets the best of you
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave

The shots you took they went to your head
You're playing Tom Petty better than he plays himself
God bless you're used to your wealth

And look who's on the late night TV
Your presence is stellar
Andy always thought you were better back at his school indeed

But you don't got nothing but money
And the money gets the best of you
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave

Oh, the big machines, how they push you through
You're climbing the stairs, you're going somewhere
Congratulations!
What you gonna do when they're all over you?
I've seen it before, you're dropped at the door
No money, no more

But you don't got nothing but money
And the money gets the best of you
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave

I said you don't got nothing but money
And the money gets the best of you
And then you're just another carbon copy that's riding a wave on through

I said, "Hey, man, you don't know
Because this means nothing to you."
I said, "Hey, man, you don't know
All the shit that I went through."
