Hey there man with the silver spoon
Have you got some cash for my video
Hey there man you don't have to be rude
There are other ways to find my Romeo
I go downtown to the bar
And there you are
There you are
Pretty baby don't you know you've got me on a string
Your money it can buy everything
And pretty baby don't you know you've got me on a string
Your money it can buy me everything
Chorus:
I say burn the money, we don't need your money
We can make our own
Downtown, downtown
I say burn the money, we don't need your money
We can make our own
Downtown, downtown
The only way to survive, is to stop believing lies
You can make your dreams happen
Downtown, downtown
Money, money, money doesn't make me happy
Money, money, money always makes me cry
Hey there tax man give me a break
The more that I sweat, the more that you take
Same story, same dance all over again
Up will you rise or be a marionette
It doesn't matter what I do
I fall behind
I fall behind
Pretty baby don't you know we're all on a string
They take our money, they'll take everything
And pretty baby don't you know we're all on a string
They'll take your money, they'll take everything
(Chorus)
Money, money, money's supposed to make me a star
But my money, money, money never gets far
The way you take my money, sir it's such a crime
So please tell me what you do with my fuckin dime
(CHORUS)
We shall overcome, you can't shut us down!
We shall overcome, you can't shut us down!
(CHORUS)
