Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay
And your O. K
Get a good job with more pay
And your O. K
This lyric is very sarcastic; our lives and being "o.k." depends on giving in to the capitalist system and getting a good job with a good salary. The subtle suggestion here is that there is a better way of life other than focusing it around the pursuit of money - hence the sarcasm.

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly
But don't take a slice of my pie
Share it fairly
But don't take a slice of my pie
There is a suggestion here that the desire for money can lead to people stealing and borrowing in the line "it's a crime". "Share it fairly/but don't take a slice of my pie" highlights the hypocrisy of people who covet money. It means there should be one rule for everyone- share money equally between yourselves - and another for the individual; the individual doesn't want their money to be shared.
