Words by Phillip SandiferMusic by Brian Green

You got to wear the right clothes

Go to the right school

Gotta take the right drugs

The ones they say are cool

Got to be different, follow your own rules

Show the man in control, you're nobody's fool

But he's got you coming and going

He's had you pegged for years

You are the young, the curious

And you're making it very clear

Chorus

Cause you're easy money

You've got sucker written on your face

You're an easy ark when there's a scam to chase

Easy money

And though you think you're being uptown

He's just spinning you around and around,

you're easy money

He watches your every move, anticipates your groove

If it's in, he's there and you can bet

He's got a ton to spare

He's the system that you fight,

Giving you another bite

Any flavor that you like,

Don't matter if it's wrong or right

Chorus

Well the man still makes the clothes you wear

Sells the coke you share

He's not really on the other side

He'll bring you anything that you'll buy

It's the American way

How much can you pay

Place it in your sight

The man he's betting that you're gonna bite

Repeat Chorus
