[Tom Petty]

I don't want your millions mister

I can't use no diamond ring

I want the right just to live mister

Give me back my job again

[Bono]

I don't want your Rolls Royce mister

I can't use your pleasure yacht

I want some food for these children

Give me back my job again

[Johnny Cash]

We work to build this country mister

While you enjoy your life of ease

And you steal all that we build mister

See them folks, they starve and freeze

[Willie Nelson]

I don't want your millions mister

I can't use no diamond ring

I want the right to live mister

Give me back my job again

[Bono:] No I don't want your millions mister

[Tom:] I can't use no diamond ring

[Willie:] I want the right to live mister

[Johnny:] Give me back My job again

[Carl Perkins]

I don't want your foodstamps mister

And that welfare line don't interest me

Give me a chance to earn my wages

And give me back my old job please
