Money & power! You wanted to be a politician But you became a millionaire You pull the strings nobody ever sees you But everybody knows you're there Scholar with the dollar, master of the game Even when times are hard Cash! moving through us, everything we do It's better than a credit card
Money and power, that's what you want, baby Money and power, that's what you need
You never pay your taxes, you write off everything And keep a little private stash You got out just in time, that's the reason Why it did not hurt you when the market crashed Your favorite charity is your Swiss account So you donate twice a month And you really like to exercise your clout On exclusive restaurants (you've got to love it!)
Money and power, that's what you want, baby Money and power, that's what you need
Money and power it'll serve your life for hours if you want to impress your friends You buy a big house, lots of gold and diamond junk and a car called Mercedes Benz You cruise around the block and get the people to stop, say say you what you want They talk about the dollar say it's not the blue collar what you got is what they want
Everytime you make it, somebody tries to take it You find out who your real friends are You'd rather spend it instead of lend it When you invite the gang you're treated like a star
Money and power, that's what you want, baby Money and power, that's what you need
