they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how

they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how



want that mercedez, that gulf stream two

they want to get, get it from you

they want your life savings

and your mothers ring

they'd like to have everything



they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how

they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how



they want that mansion, and they want it full

of wine and women, and political pull

they always have a president or two

that's how they get away with what they do

that's how they do it



they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how

they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how



they bleed the companies, they're supposed to run

ain't no different than taking

your money with a gun

they make it to jamaica

and their wire comes through

they sacrafice a lawyer

and they're laughing at you



they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how

they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how



they don't get prosecuted, don't even get charged

the're somewhere in the sunbelt living it large

and the government says we can't prove

they did it at all

besides they've got these underlings

ready to take the fall



they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how

they want it all, they want it now

they want to get it and they don't care how



these people that they stole from

who's lives they laid to waste

they should have to meet them all face to face

and explain just why their momma

didn't teach 'em not to steal

if you want us to believe in justice

justice better be real

better be, better be, real

got to be real

i'm talking to you now

got to be real

you

they just don't give a damn
