They wanna get something

They wanna get something

They wanna get something

Something for nothing

Something

They wanna get something

They're trying to get something

Something for nothing

Easy come, easy go

What I'm trying to tell you is worth it's weight in gold

Sometimes it's hard to know who you can trust

They call you brother and leave you in the dust

It takes all kinds of people to make this world go round

And everybody know it's time for you now, now

I'm trying to tell you, I'm know it all too well

They don't care about you or me, they only have all to tell

They wanna get something

They wanna get something

They wanna get something

Something for nothing

Something

They wanna get something

They're trying to get something

Something for nothing

Something for nothing

Honest work for honest pay

Sometimes I wonder, does it ever work that way

Down and up of what they can get

Making a living off of other people's sweat

It takes all kinds of people to make this world go 'round

And everybody know it's time before you now, now

I'm trying to tell you, make no mistake

They don't care about you or me, always on the take

They wanna get something

They wanna get something

They wanna get something

Something for nothing

Something

They wanna get something

They're trying to get something

Something for nothing

Something for nothing

That's a part of my life

Something for nothing

It's [Incomprehensible]

Something for nothing

Don't you forget

Something for nothing

They're always out to get

Something for nothing

Something

Something for nothing

They're only out for what they can get

Once you got the cash, they got no regrets

They sell drugs to the poor, arms for war

They don't care, here's the score

They build nuclear plants and cracks in the wall

And they get so sucker to take the pot

It's all the same, the power game

This is greed, my friend, by any other name

It takes all kinds of people to make the world go 'round

So you better beware, so you better beware, yes, you better beware

I'm gonna prove you wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

They wanna get something

They wanna get something

Something for nothing

They wanna get something

They wanna get something

They're trying to get something

Something for nothing

They wanna get something

Something for nothing

They wanna get something

Something for nothing

They wanna get something

Something for nothing

They wanna get something

Something for nothing

They wanna get something

Something for nothing

They wanna get something

Something for nothing
