[Intro]
Oh, Mr. Money Man
Oh, Mr. Money Man
[Verse 1]
Better keep on running, Mr. Money Man
Keep on running and never stop
Hang on to your bib and your till
Don't leave all your twenty dollar bill
Oh no, noo, Mr. Money Man
[Verse 2]
Been a long, long time you've been having us down
Giving us two twenty dollar bill
It hurt our old brothers and our sisters
But that won't happen again
Cause now that we're civilized
We're gonna stand up for human rights
Oh yeah, ooooooh, Mr. Money Man
[Chorus]
Keep on running, Mr. Money Man
Keep on running, oh yeah
Keep on running, Mr. Money Man
Keep on running, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, Mr. Money Man
[Verse 3]
In those days of going to school
You taught us like a bunch of fools
You told us how the cow jumped the moon
And the dish run gone with the spoon
But now, Mr. Money Man
Better take off to your moon
Whether in your dish or your spoon
You've got to reach there soon
Oh yeah, oooh yeah, Mr. Money Man
[Bridge]
Lot of sufferers chasing you
And if they lay their hands on you
They're bad, they crucify you, Mr. Money Man
Ooooooooh, Mr. Money Man
[Chorus]
Keep on running with your blood dunza
Keep on running with your twenty dollar bill
Keep on chasing all over the hills
Oh yeah, oooooh, yeah
[Verse 4]
In those days of going to school
You taught us like a bunch of fools
You told us how the cow jumped the moon
And the dish run gone with the spoon
But now, Mr. Money Man
[Outro]
Take off to your moon
Never eat your dish with your spoon
You got to reach there soon, oh yeah
