Cash In Your Face

Stevie Wonder

Transposer:

Intro:    (x8) Verse 1: (                 )  You just could not know How long we tried To see how this building Looks inside. This must be a lucky day for me Because the sign says There’s a vacancy. Bridge 1: Look I know you came a long way But you made it just too late; So we had to give it to some-body else. Well I talked to you on the phone Less than fifteen minutes ago; And you told me that it was cool. Verse 2: I graduated from Harvard U. My job is paying good money too. And if you check on my resume; You’ll find they all Wanted me to stay. Bridge 2: Well I can’t take the time out To check your credit card ’Cos the com-puter Just broke down to-day. Well I’ll stop by here tomorrow To com-plete our interview But I know what you’re gonna say. (I know what your bottomline is); Chorus 1: You might have the cash But you cannot cash in your face;                                    We don’t want you living in here. Say you might have the cash But you cannot cash in your face;                                    We don’t want you living in here. Break: Too-oo too-oo... Too bad.     Too-oo too-oo.. Too sad. Interlude:       (x2) Verse 3: ()  Our first child Is due here any day; Due here any day That’s why we’re desperate For a place to stay. The lo-cation is So perfect too So please try to do What you can do. Bridge 3: Well in this apartment complex No children are allowed; And if you told me that I could have saved you a-lot of time. Well I thought the Bill was passed That said you could not discriminate? But I know some ex-cuse you’ll find. (Because your bottom line is); Chorus 2: You might have the cash But you cannot cash in your face;                                    We don’t want you living in here. Say you might have the cash But you cannot cash in your face;                                    We don’t want you living in here. Coda: Aye you might be a great doctor     You might be a great lawyer.      You might possess the key to the city Or maybe a poli-tician.     You might have the cash But you cannot cash in your face;                                    We don’t want you living in here. Say you might have the cash But you cannot cash in your face;                                    We don’t want you living in here. (Repeat to Fade)

Cette chanson aborde le thème des discriminations sociales et des préjugés liés à l'apparence. Elle raconte l'histoire d'un individu qui, malgré une situation financière favorable et un bon parcours professionnel, se voit refuser un logement en raison de son image ou de son statut. Les paroles mettent en lumière l'ironie d'avoir de l'argent sans pouvoir en jouir pleinement, car des barrières invisibles demeurent. Le contexte de la chanson reflète des luttes contemporaines, où des personnes cherchant désespérément un endroit où vivre se heurtent à des politiques d'exclusion. Il est souligné que malgré des qualifications impressionnantes ou des ressources financières, des discriminations peuvent subsister, laissant les gens se sentir impuissants face à des systèmes qui semblent illogiques.
