Lyrics
Give it all to the rich Give it all to the poor Give it all to the man who says he’s coming back for more Do it all for the bad Do it all for the good Do it all when the self same reasons tell you that you should Do it all to the rich Do it all to the poor Do it all to the man who says he’s coming back for more You know I played The game as best I could (cheat) We know I gave As fairly as I should (lies) Be it known when the beggar begged I was always first to pay No choice for a beggar and a beggar I’m not But I’m begging let me stay Give it all to the rich Give it all to the poor Give it all to the man who says he’s coming back for more Do it all for the bad Do it all for the good Do it all when the self same reasons tell you that you should Do it all to the rich Do it all to the poor Do it all to the man who says he’s coming back for more
