Suits and ties who hide their lies
Behind an honest man's disguise
Watch them look you in the eye
And sell you what you shouldn't buy
They will promise you the world
Then from left field, they'll throw a curve
So don't believe all that you've heard
And trust in no one, take my word
But one thing you can know for sure
They have it all and still want more
They'll shake your hand then point their gun
Then they'll take the money and run
See them dance their crooked waltz
Through the halls of concrete vaults
They control your needs and wants
Makes you wonder who's at fault
No use trying to share the wealth
Cause they've got their's and your's as well
They'll make you second guess yourself
You might be right, but who can tell?
They prey on sinking ships of fools
They twist the truth and bend the rules
Yes, this is how they have their fun
When they take the money and run
Yes, they'll take the money and run
Justice knows no right or wrong
Tipping scales and greasing palms
Here today and then they're gone
You're left on the bottom rung
So never underestimate
A wink or grin or friendly face
We feed the spider and the snakes
And that's the way the game is played
They'll lay to waste your health and home
You'll pay for things no one should own
And after all is said and done
They will take the money and run
Yes, they'll take the money and run
