"Red Money", sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh legenda musik David Bowie, merupakan sebuah eksplorasi mendalam tentang kecemasan modern dan kerentanan manusia. Liriknya, yang ditulis sendiri oleh Bowie, menggambarkan perasaan tidak berdaya dan alienasi di dunia yang semakin cepat dan tidak terkendali. Lagu ini dimulai dengan serangkaian pertanyaan retoris yang menggemakan rasa ketidakpastian dan keterasingan, menciptakan suasana yang meresahkan dan tidak menentu.
Red Money Lyrics
David Bowie
Oh, can you feel it in the way
That a man is not a man?
Can you see it in the sky
That the landscape is too high?
Like a nervous disease
And it's been there all along
It will tumble from the sky
It's been there all along
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money
[CHORUS]
Can you hear it fall
Can you hear it well
Can you hear it at all
I was really feeling good
Reet Petite and how d'ya do
Then I got the small red box
And I didn't know what to do
'Cause my fingers
could not grope
And I could not give it away
And I knew I must not drop it
Stop it, take it away
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money
[CHORUS]
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money
[CHORUS]
Can you hear it at all
Can you hear it at all
Red Money [four times]
Such responsibility
It's up to you and me
That a man is not a man?
Can you see it in the sky
That the landscape is too high?
Like a nervous disease
And it's been there all along
It will tumble from the sky
It's been there all along
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money
[CHORUS]
Can you hear it fall
Can you hear it well
Can you hear it at all
I was really feeling good
Reet Petite and how d'ya do
Then I got the small red box
And I didn't know what to do
'Cause my fingers
could not grope
And I could not give it away
And I knew I must not drop it
Stop it, take it away
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money
[CHORUS]
Project cancelled
Tumbling central
Red Money
[CHORUS]
Can you hear it at all
Can you hear it at all
Red Money [four times]
Such responsibility
It's up to you and me
