Well, we used to be all honest men,
#2
We used to have ideals.
#3
But honest men ain’t friends of money,
ALL
And honesty won’t pay for meals.

#1
In this world, you’ve got to make a living,
#2
If you don’t, you’ll end up on the street.
#3
And in our business you’ll find more money,
Comes from screwing people you’ll never meet.

ALL
We’ve got up on our place of power,
We’re so rich, we’ve got nothing to fear.
And if you look inside our wallets,
You’ll see the buck stops here.

JIMMY
But what about all of your voters?
You must know that there’s a good amount.
So how can you get re-elected?
ALL
Cause money’s the only vote that counts!

#2
Maybe you can find a swell Senator,
#3
Or Congressman who thinks he does what’s right.
#1
But if you saw them face-to-face,
You’d see that they’re not that bright.

ALL
We’ve got up on our place of power,
We’re so rich, we’ve got nothing to fear.
And if you look inside our wallets,
You’ll see the buck stops here.

JIMMY
But you must practice by your party’s principles,
Your name’s on ballots cause of them.
So how can you just follow money?
ALL
Cause the G.O.P.’s the same as Dems!

It’s been years since I fought for my beliefs,
#1
It’s been longer, since I really cared.
#2
My house was built with dirty money,
But it’s better than being bare!

ALL
We’ve got up on our place of power,
We’re so rich, we’ve got nothing to fear.
And if you look inside our wallets,
You’ll see the buck stops here.
