I took a plane to the west coast   To learn how to be someone else   Ended up in the desert   Sending postcards to myself   So many bodies on a washing line   All trying to taste success   I lost my soul in the rush, rush   I took the money and I left the rest      How long can I be   Hungry    How long can I be   Hungry       (Got love)   Got love and I've got soul   I'll take the money   I'll take the money   (Got friends)   Got friends wherever I go   I'll take the money   I'll take the money   (Got needs)   Got everything I need   I'll take the money   I'll take the money   Out of the crowd   Into the zoo   Ah, ah    T-take the money!      You know you've got me   In the elevator   You know you've got me   On the radio   You know you've got me   In the supermarket   I'm all yours at the disco   I'm gonna give it to you 'til you choke   This bogus poetry   I know the devil has won, won   I'm tangled up in the machinery      How long can I be   Hungry    How long can I be   Hungry       (Got love)   Got love and I've got soul   I'll take the money   I'll take the money   (Got friends)   Got friends wherever I go   Oh I'll take the money   I'll take the money   (Got needs)   Got everything I need   I'll take the money   I'll take the money   Out of the crowd   Into the zoo, zoo, zoo      The money   The money   The money   Take the money      T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-take the money!   T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-take the money!   Suck-a-cock-a-cess!   T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-take the money!   T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-take the money!
