on Monday, August 30, 2010Liza Minelli & Joel Gray Money Lyrics Quotation – in these song lyrics from the 1968 musical Cabaret
“Money makes the world go around
…the world go around
…the world go around.
Money makes the world go around
Of that we both are sure” – Liza Minelli in Cabaret (1968)
These lyrics from the song “Money” in the film Cabaret suggest that financial resources are what drive society and human interactions. By repeating the line “Money makes the world go around”, Liza Minelli’s character emphasizes how money acts as the fundamental force that moves and motivates the world.
The final part of the lyrics “Of that we both are sure” implies this view of money’s central role is an indisputable truth. Overall, in this memorable song Cabaret portrays a cynical vision of modern life in which wealth and economic factors, above all else, determine social dynamics, opportunities and outcomes for people.
The lyrics convey a belief that on some basic level, the possession or lack of money is what ultimately shapes the world and its inhabitants.
