All my life, I've been a poor man's son
Lookin' for a way to get it done
If I save a buck from the work I do
There's always someone tellin' me
I owe them too
Nothin' comes easy in this life I live
If it's there for the takin'
Why do I have to give?
If the best things are free
In this land of milk and honey
Tell me, why does everybody
Want my money?
Everybody wants my money
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
I work real hard and I ain't no dummy
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
My wallet's real skinny
And I swear this ain't funny
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
Tell me, why does everybody
Want my money?
Bought myself a car
'Cause I thought it would save me
Now I owe the city
For the tickets they gave me
Didn't have the cash when insurance came
Now I have to pay for a seat on the train
I try to hold on to the money I make
But wherever I turn, there's a bill to be paid
It's gettin' real hard to understand
Why as soon as it's in, it's out of my hands
Everybody wants my money
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
I work real hard and I ain't no dummy
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
My wallet's real skinny
And I swear this ain't funny
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
Tell me, why does everybody
Want my money?
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
I spent a fortune on my high-class lover
Then I found out she loved another
I don't see why I have to work
If she's givin' it all to some other jerk
The man on the corner
Wants his quarter to spend
The barber wants money to cut my hair
The dealer wants bank to sell me grass
Now the lawyer wants cash to bail my a-
Everybody wants my money
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
I work real hard and I ain't no dummy
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
My wallet's real skinny
And I swear this ain't funny
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
Tell me, why does everybody
Want my money?
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
I took out a loan from the local mob
So now I have to get a second job
'Cause if I don't pay back what I owe
I get my legs broken by a big fat bro
The landlord wants my money
The government wants my money
The doctor takes my money
No one gives me money
I can't save money if it's never there
Thank God it doesn't cost to breathe the air
But still, I believe I will succeed
Even though nothing is guaranteed
Everybody wants my money
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
I work real hard and I ain't no dummy
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
My wallet's real skinny
And I swear this ain't funny
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
Tell me, why does everybody
Want my money?
Want my money?
Want my money?
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
(Give us your money)
