Nobody takes their cases to court   Not ever if there are adequate grounds for suspicion   O.K., well I'll make it short   They take their grade in their jobs by our kind permission      MONEY RULES EVERTHING AND NOTHING ELSE   EVERYBODY WANTS THAT COULOURED PAPER DOESN'T MATTER   WHICH MEANS TO GET IT SOONER OR LATER      Listen, I'll make a long story short   It's hard to accuse the big shots of a crime   Maybe they are the owner of the court of law   And soon they turn the table around and charge you with a crime      MONEY RULES EVERTHING AND NOTHING ELSE   EVERYBODY WANTS THAT COULOURED PAPER DOESN'T MATTER   WHICH MEANS TO GET IT SOONER OR LATER      But who knows, what money makes   Makes out of me, makes out of me   Maybe I'll get it sooner, sooner or later   We will see      They lead the life of Riley, that's a matter of fact   It's nearly impossible, that they will be caught in the act   They enjoy getting on the crazy train   And they move in the world with blood and pain      MONEY RULES EVERTHING AND NOTHING ELSE   EVERYBODY WANTS THAT COULOURED PAPER DOESN'T MATTER   WHICH MEANS TO GET IT SOONER OR LATER
