Somewhere in the city

There's a struggle going on

Someone's making money

Someone's doing wrong

Everybody searching for a little piece of gold

(Power play?)(fix a face?) never grow old

It's a shame

Who's gonna take control?

It's a game they play

Who's gonna save your soul?

And they're never gonna stop

Till they reach the top

All across the nation

Fever takes control

Money is temptation

Money saves your soul

One thing I can tell you

Of this there is no doubt

The rich man needs his comfort

And the poor man does without

Everybody loves somebody

All around the world

But everybody knows

It's the rich man gets the girl

-chorus-

Look at all the little people

(Cowering?) from the rain

Standing at the bus stop

Dreaming 'bout Spain

Here comes the rich man

Driving his car

When he was poor he was sure

He was gonna go far

-repeat chorus to fade-
