King Crimsonis a progressive rock group formed in 1969, and is considered to be one of the more influential bands in the history of rock music. The band was founded by guitarist Robert Frippand drummer Michael Gilesin 1969. Originally an all-British musical group, later members have included a number of Americans, most notably Adrian Belewand Tony Levin. The name King Crimson was coined by Peter Sinfieldas a synonym for Beelzebub, prince of demons.According to Fripp, Beelzebub would be an anglicised form of the Arabic phrase "B'il Sabab", meaning "the man with an aim".[2] However, the original name is understood to be from ba'al zebul, "Lord of the Seat". (The name was later popularly corrupted to ba'al zevel, "Lord of the Dungheap", and ba'al zevuv, "Lord of the Flies", because the god's statue was constantly covered in blood.)[3] King Crimson's debut album is considered by some to be one of the more influential albums of progressive rock.

Easy Money Lyrics
King Crimson
Your admirers on the street
Gotta hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers
And I thought my heart would break
When you doubled up at the stake
With your fingers all a-shake
You could never tell a winner from a snake
But you always make money
Easy money
With your figure and your face
Strutting out at every race
Throw a glass around the place
Show the colour of your crimson suspenders
We would take the money home
Sit around the family throne
My old dog could chew his bone
For two weeks we could appease the almighty
Easy money
Got no truck with the la-di-da
Keep my bread in an old fruit jar
Drive you out in a motor-car
Getting fat on your lucky star just making
Easy money.
