Everybody Wants My Money lyrics

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)
