Columbus sailed the ocean blue   To see what he would fine   With visions of another world   They said he'd lost his mind      But when he told them of the land he'd found   A land so rich with gold   To get the treasures on the other side   They left the lad of old to      (Chorus)   Get rich now   Get rich now   Get rich now   Get rich now      Napoleon thought that he could be   The ruler of it all   The things he wanted were so very big   But he was very small      They spread the word throughout the land   That he would soon be king   But his greed and pride got in the way   And he lost everything to      (Chorus)      Oh the president and the generals   Are getting ready for a war   The only thing that they don't know   Is what they're fighting for      They shine their suits of armor   And they tell us to prepare   While they take wealth and freedom   And just leave us standing there      Get rich now
