Billy Joel

Transposer:

[Intro] Uh ooh uh ah [Verse 1] You don’t have to talk all night I’m a man who can’t say no You don’t have to twist my arm Just point me where you wanna go [Pre-Chorus] Take me to the action Take me to the track Take me to a party if they’re bettin’ in the back I been working all my life Can’t afford to wait Let me call my wife so I can tell her I’ll be late [Chorus] I want the easy mmm Easy money easy money I could get lucky Oh things could go right I want the easy ah uh Easy money easy money Maybe this one time Maybe tonight [Verse 2] You don’t have to try too hard I don’t need a song and dance I don’t need an invitation If you’ve got a game of chance [Pre-Chorus] Take me to the tables Take me to the fights Run me like the numbers Roll me like the dice When you’re counting on a killing Always count me in Talk me into losin’ just as long as I can win [Chorus] I want the easy mmm Easy money easy money I want the good times Oh I never had I want the easy mmm Easy money oh I want a good life I want it bad [Bridge] Easy money You say I fool myself But better me than being a fool for someone else I got a hot slot machine of a system ready to go Easy money I got a one-track mind And a good reputation laying on the line I’ll either come back a bum or a king Baby I don’t know Ah huh [Verse 3] You don’t have to start a fire I’m a man who can’t say no If you’ve got a little risky business Just point me where you want to go [Pre-Chorus] Take me to the power Take me to the heat Take me to the cleaners If it’s open to the street Something’s got to pay off Something’s got to break Someone’s got a fortune that they’re begging me to take [Chorus] I want the easy uh Easy money easy money I could get lucky Things could go right Oh I want the easy ah uh Easy money easy money Maybe just this time Oh maybe tonight [Outro] Easy money I don’t want no hard cash I just want the easy money Oh I could get lucky Easy

La chanson évoque le désir d'accéder rapidement à la richesse sans avoir à fournir trop d'efforts. Le narrateur exprime une préférence pour les gains faciles et les opportunités de chance, se montrant prêt à s'impliquer dans des situations risquées, que ce soit aux jeux ou dans des environnements festifs. Il évoque aussi la nécessité de justifier son absence auprès de sa femme, mettant en lumière un certain équilibre entre ses désirs personnels et ses responsabilités familiales. Le contexte de cette chanson semble se situer dans une atmosphère de jeu et de plaisir, où l'adrénaline et le risque sont au rendez-vous. Le protagoniste est prêt à tout pour échapper à la routine, en cherchant des moments de chance qui pourraient transformer sa vie. C'est une quête à la fois ambitieuse et désespérée, plongeant dans l'univers des paris et des opportunités qui s'offrent à lui.
