MONEY

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson

 

 

Money…

 

Lie for it

Spy for it

Kill for it

Die for it

 

So you call it trust

But I say it’s just

In the devil’s game

Of greed and lust

 

They don’t care

They’d do me for the money

They don’t care

They use me for the money

 

So you go to church

Read the holy word

In the scheme of life

It’s all absurd

 

They don’t care

They’d kill for the money

Do or dare

The thrill for the money

 

You’re saluting the flag

Your country trusts you

Now you’re wearing a badge

You’re called the “Just Few”

And you’re fighting the wars

A soldier must do

I’ll never betray or deceive you my friend but…

 

If you show me the cash

Then I will take it

If you tell me to cry

Then I will fake it

If you give me a hand

Then I will shake it

 

You’d do anything for money...

 

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

 

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

 

Insurance?

Where do your loyalties lie?

Is that your alibi?

I don’t think so

You don’t care

You’d do her for the money

Say it’s fair

You sue her for the money

Want your pot of gold

Need the Midas touch

Bet you sell your soul

‘Cause your God is such

You don’t care

You kill for the money

Do or dare

The thrill for the money

 

Are you infected with the same disease of lust, gluttony and greed?

Then watch the ones

With the biggest smiles

The idle jabbers…

‘Cause they’re the backstabbers

 

If you know it’s a lie

Then you will swear it

If you give it with guilt

Then you will bear it

If it’s taking a chance

Then you will dare it

 

You’d do anything for money...

 

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

 

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

 

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

 

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

 

You say you wouldn’t do it

For all the money in the world

I don’t think so

If you show me the man

Then I will sell him

If you ask me to lie

Then I will tell him

If you’re stealing with God

Then you will hell him

 

You’d do anything for money

 

Anything

Anything

Anything for money

Would lie for you

Would die for you

Even sell my soul to the devil

[Repeat 8 Times]
