OK, I'm trying to transcribe the Easy Star All Stars version of Pink Floyd's "Money."
Here is what I have so far. Can someone try to fill in the blanks? Question marks before and after one or more words means I think that's what he's saying, but it doesn't make sense in the context, so I'm not sure. Question marks with dots between means I don't have a clue.
The first two verses, and the last one don't need to be checked - they're well understood Pink Floyd lyrics.
Again, the song is Easy Star All Stars - Money.
Thanks.



Easy Star All-Stars - Money

[Original Lyrics from Link Floyd version:]

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back
I'm alright Jack keep your hands off my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling section
And I think i need a Lear Jet


[Dollarman:]

Money will make a good man bad
Money will make a ?rough? man mad
Money will male a ?...? man break and go to war
Forget about the good times
The butter make you change your ways
You no careful, it will make you lose your mind, yes
If you ?wash it big?
?Destined for a fall?
Very Addictive ?pass? selective
Nobody save your soul, just save your money
When Jah Jah come, ain't nothing funny
Can't pay your way inna Mount Zion
?...?

Never remember when them used to beg a dollar
Never remember when them used to beg for hunger
Now them get rich and ?a point? like big-timer
Burn down the bridge that them cross over
Boy you got rich today and broke tomorrow
Don't you know that's the real-life ?gold?
Money-a-Money and Friend-a-Friend
And me not put no money before my brethren

Them a ?...? and a kill for the dollar
For the love of money, man a-kill him own-a brother
Power is Money, Money is Power
?Marching??....?

It'a the root of all evil
And to youth ?...? a man be a beggar, no
Nobody mix-up ?and avoid them? subtle
Boy, you find trouble, you get it upon the double
Upon the ?...? boy no watch your face
When them rich them think they want ?fee fone the place?
Upon the difference ?...?

Money will make a good man bad
Money will make a ?rough? man mad
Money [echoes]



[Original Lyrics from Link Floyd version:]

Money it's a crime
Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're giving none away
