Would you do it for love?

Would you do it for pride?

If you gave it away

Woud you be satisfied?



On your hands and knees

When the price is right

You said you believe

But would you stand up and fight?



I think you better ask yourself

Before you criticize me

Are you a victim of the system

Of the powers that be?

If there was nothing to gain

Would you do it for free?

Would you do it for me?



Give it away in the bedroom

What you sell in the street

You spend a fortune on rags

And strip it down to the beat



I think you better ask yourself

Before you criticize me

Are you a victim of the system

Of the powers that be?

If there was nothing to gain

Would you do it for free?

Would you do it for me?



Are you in love with what you do?

Are you satisfied?

Is your heart straight and true?

Or did money make you tell a cold faced lie?



I think you better ask yourself

Before you criticize me

Are you a victim of the system

Of the powers that be?

If there was nothing to gain

Would you do it for free?

Would you do it for me
