Gotta make that money man
Gotta get this through ya head
Make money money
Take money, money, money
Make money, money
Get money, money, money
Make money, money
Take money, money, money
We need money for real
But we don’t love money

What’s the root of all evil
What makes the world go round
What lights a face up when it’s feeling down
The most common denominator
Of materialism
The start point of growth
When you deal with capitalism
It’s a shame with every culture thrives on entrepreneurialism
From the pyramids to the project ooh well
Anything that can be sold will sell
It’s an abomination that in we rot
Going around the world
You measured by how much money you got
But don’t worry y’all
Just be happy 
Tell me how can I be happy if I ‘m only making a scrap heap
Rents gotta get paid babies need new shoes
God damn is poverty living in the blues
I said is poverty life living in the blues
Maybe the front page of the paper tomorrow
I’ll readsome better news
Read some better news

CHORUS

What’s the reason that we live good. Money
What’s the reason that we live bad. Money
What’s the reason that we gotta bubble. Money
What’s the reason that we gotta hustle. Money
What’s the reason that we live in fear. Money
A reason that we had a good year. Money
A reason that somebody strip teasing. Money
Reason for animals extinction. Money
Reason for polluting the environment. Money
Examples that nations go to war for. Money
A reason some people choose they mate for. Money
Some people can’t escape the money
Ever since we were born we were taught to seek money
Go to school become educated 
So you could get a good job
So you ain’t gotta live hard
We all need money
But really it ain’t funny

CHORUS

As we consume our self
Yeah right to the grave
The consumption of too much
Really makes you a slave
Pity for the out stretched arms
Digging out the grave of debt
Since most nations in debt
They need to keep the people in debt
Then they penalize them for being blind dumb and deaf
Independence through economic stability
Takes a little practice plus you gotta be willing
To happy with less
So go ahead and get on get on
Till there no more till there’s no more bloody time left
Rationalize the wise using of your rations
Instead for asking for more than you need with a passion
We need money I glad we don’t bleed money
Cause I might have to go catch a body to get some money

CHORUS

Make money money
Take money, money, money
Make money, money
Get money, money, money
Make money, money
Take money, money, money
We need money for real
But we don’t love money
Make money money
Take money, money, money
Make money, money
Get money, money, money
Make money, money
Take money, money, money
We need money for real
But we don’t love money
