What's going on in this world today
I'm a man on a mission, I got something to say
To the men in the East, and the men in the West
Tell me your reasons for making this mess
You're selling your soul, you'd do it again
Chorus:
For the money - the rich get rich, and the poor stay poor
For the money - life's a bitch when you need some more
Who takes the blame for this poverty
While children are dying, they're feeding their greed
One flag is red, one flag is blue
You give them the power, they take it from you
They've done it before, and they'll do it again
(chorus)
Say, yeah
You got a need for greed, need for greed - ow ow ow!
(Solo)
Hey, mister, can you spare some change so I can buy something to eat
I'm outta friends and I'm outta luck and I got nowhere to sleep
I'm only human, don't pass me by, but [share me in my pair]
When I'm on the streets and I'm getting cold, does anybody care?
Money - the rich get rich, and the poor stay poor
For the money - life's a bitch when you need some more
For the money - the rich get rich, and the poor stay poor
Money - life's a bitch when you need some more
Need for greed, need for greed, need for greed, need for
