Everybody wants it But no-one ever knows the way to say Let's get paid If I wanted it I bought it Every man's got a price That's what they say (Let's get paid) I put some people on and They're coming up with all these clever ways To get payed They calculate and call me Mr Jones it's such a perfect day Let's get paid Roll out the red carpet when i come to the town I flash a grin when I'm walking through a faceless crowd You bet the scene I'll watch it grow just like my bank account That's the American way Let's get paid All alone in my castle You can call me a bastard I'll still say I got paid Got to the top of a mountain Just in the down of all I made Let's get paid Take it from the needy And give it to the greedy everyday Let's get paid The matter of the cost is You can argue with the boss, I'll make it rain Let's get paid The sun shines down on the wicked and the just I'm getting paid in the shade but it is never enough I stuff my pockets snatching money from a blind man's cup That's the American way Let's get paid Forget about the 99 I'm living good and feeling fine Let's get paid And never mind the hungry child My boots are real crocodile Let's get paid I don't worry about the blood we spilled Got a house on top of the hill Let's get paid You can take it with you when you go That's why i had to sell my soul Let's get paid Forget about the 99 I'm living good and feeling fine Let's get paid And never mind the hungry child My boots are real crocodile Let's get paid I don't worry about the blood we spilled Got a house on top of the hill Let's get paid You can take it with you when you go That's why i had to sell my soul The sun shines down on the wicked and the just I'm getting paid in the shade but it is never enough I stuff my pockets snatching money from a blind man's cup That's the American way Let's get paid
