some say money is bad for the soul

bad for the rock, bad for the roll

bad for the heart, bad for the brain

bad for damn near everything

oh yeah.....

it must be good for something

come on pay the rent

telephone, telefax, telefunkin' teletrash

tell a cop, tell a friend, think we hit the stoney end

nothing left, nothing right

now they want a bigger bite

everybody wants some

everybody wants big money, oh yeah

they want big, fat money

that's what I want

big fat money

too much temptation

enough to kill a generation

space station, starvation, premature ejaculation

this ain't groovin', this ain't funky

it's on my back but it ain't my monkey, no

oh yeah, gimme some of that big, fat money

that's what I want

big fat money

big fat money

smoke this, eat that my ol' lady's gettin' fat

high rise, high rent before it's earned, it's all been spent

where's it gonna come from?

who's it gonna go to?

ain't beatin', but I'm being eatin' by money, oh yeah

big, big money, gimme, gimme, gimme

some of that big, fat money, alright

that's what I want

well alright, oh, big, big money

now gimme, gimme, gimme

some of that big money

that's what I want

that's all I need

gimme big, fat money

gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme

gimme some of that big fat money
