Mild profanity, alcohol reference, materialistic themes
Detailed Analysis
Pink Floyd's 'Money' contains mild profanity ('bullshit'), references to alcohol ('I was really drunk at the time'), and a mention of violence ('cruisin' for a bruisin''). The primary themes revolve around greed, materialism, and wealth inequality — relatively mature social commentary but not deeply explicit. The spoken word section at the end includes a casual reference to being drunk. There is no sexual content, and the violence reference is very brief and colloquial. The profanity is limited to one instance. Overall, this is mild enough for early teens with some parental context, but the themes of materialism, workplace conflict, and alcohol reference make it better suited for 13 and up.

Lyrics
Money Get away You get a good job with more pay and you're okay 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 of my stack Money It's a hit Don't give me that do goody good bullshit I'm in the high-fidelity first-class traveling set And I think I need a Lear jet 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 rise It's no surprise that they're giving none away Away, away, away Away, away, away I was in the right Yes, absolutely in the right I certainly was in the right Yeah, I was definitely in the right, that geezer was cruisin' for a bruisin' Yeah! Why does anyone do anything? I don't know, I was really drunk at the time Just telling him it was in, he could get it in number two He was asking why it wasn't coming up on freight eleven And after, I was yelling and screaming and telling him why It wasn't coming up on freight eleven
