You wake up in the morning
totally confused
can't get a date
but you're getting screwed

you're searching for a reason
a way to carry on
when everything is broken
and everything is wrong

So you tried to save the whales
You found a tree to kiss
You gave a crippled child
His dying wish

You're waiting for an answer
message from above
You've always been a sucker
Another fool in love

What's it all about
 [bad word] and money
I ain't tryin to be cute
I ain't tryin to be funny
Everybody lies about
 [bad word] and money

It's always gonna be that way
It's always gonna be that way

You see a girl
You start talkin
She sees your car
She starts walkin

Sweet success
Just take it
If you're sincere
You can fake it

What's it all about
 [bad word] and money
I ain't tryin to be cute
I ain't tryin to be funny
Everybody cries about
 [bad word] and money

It's always gonna be that way
It's always gonna be that way

You wanna be the big dog
Down on the street
But if you spill a drop of blood
The shark's gotta eat

million stars
out of reach
billion grains of sand
on the beach

So you pray every night
When the sun goes down
Cause there are only two things that make the world go round

What's it all about
 [bad word] and money
I ain't tryin to be cute
I ain't tryin to be funny
Everybody lies about
Everybody cries about
Everybody shout it out!!
 [bad word] and money

It's always gonna be that way
It's always gonna be that way
