[Intro. (Electric Guitars)]
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
Want that Mercedez, that gulf stream too
They want to get, get it from you
They want your life savings and your mothers ring
They'd like to have everything
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want that mansion and they want it full
Of wine and women and political pull
They always have a President or two
That's how they get away with what they do
That's how they do it
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want it all, they want it now
They want to get it and they don't care how
They bleed the companies they're supposed to run
Ain't no different than taking your money with a gun
They make it to Jamaica and their wire comes through
They sacrifice a lawyer and they're laughing at you
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
They want it all (they want it all) they want it now (they want it now)
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want it all (they want it all) they want it now ( they want it now)
They want to get it and they don't care how
They don't get prosecuted don't even get charged
They're somewhere in the sunbelt living it large
And the government says we can't prove they did it at all
Besides they've got these underlings ready to take the fall
They want it all (they want it all) they want it now (they want it now)
They want to get it and they don't care how
They want it all (they want it all) they want it now (they want it now)
They want to get it and they don't care how
These people that they stole from who's lives they laid to waste
They should have to meet them all face to face
And explain just why their momma didn't teach 'em not to steal
If you want us to believe in justice, justice better be real
Better be, better be, real
Got to be real yeah, mmm, ooh!
I'm talking to you now
Got to be real
You
Ah, ah, ah, ....
[Instrumental (Electric Guitar)]
They just don't give a damn
[Instrumental Ending (Electric Guitar)]
