Today (March 6) is the birthday of legendary Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. Gilmour replaced founding member Syd Barrett on guitar after Barrett left the band due to mental illness exacerbated by excessive psychedelic drug use.

The first line of the song says “Money get away,” I perceive this as a way of saying money was doing evil things to David Gilmour (or the song writer) and needed to be pushed away from money. Obviously Pink Floyd was not pushed to far away from money because this album sold 34 million copies, but that’s beside the point. Regardless song makes you believe everyone is greedy
