People tell me that I just daydream and waste my time (ohh)
But there's really nothing that's gonna change my mind, 
cause I'm doing just fine
Stop complaining cause I'm just trying to live my life
(Doing what I want and that's my reason 
to get up in the morning)

Hey, I'm just playing around
Messing around with the sound
Hey, is that what you call it 
Money for nothing, money for nothing
(Hey) Is it cause I'm just having fun
(Hey) Or cause I'm getting my job done
Hey, why you wanna call it
Money for nothing, money for nothing

I'm not made for getting paid for nine to five, 
oh no (no, no, no)
I'm just good at what I'm doing if it feels right,
You can say what you like
All I'm saying is I'm just playing with things I like
Getting what I got coming, and they call it money for nothing

Hey, I'm just playing around
Messing around with the sound
Hey, is that what you call it 
Money for nothing, money for nothing
(Hey) Is it cause I'm just having fun
(Hey) Or cause I'm getting my job done
Hey, why you wanna call it
Money for nothing, money for nothing

Hey, is that why you call it
Money for nothing, money for nothing

People tell me I just can't keep 
chasing dreams in life
(Doing what I want and that's my reason 
to get up in the morning)
That don't face me cause in the end at least I tried
(Getting what I got coming, and they call it money for nothing)
(money for nothing)

Hey, I'm just playing around
Messing around with the sound
Hey, is that what you call it 
Money for nothing, money for nothing
(Hey) Is it cause I'm just having fun
(Hey) Or cause I'm getting my job done
Hey, why you wanna call it
Money for nothing, money for nothing

Hey, I'm just playing around
Messing around with the sound
Hey, is that what you call it 
Money for nothing, money for nothing
(Hey) Is it cause I'm just having fun
(Hey) Or cause I'm getting my job done
Hey, why you wanna call it
Money for nothing, money for nothing

Hey, (ohh) is that why you call it money for nothing,
money for nothing
Hey, I'm not getting my money for nothing,
money for nothing
