Ever since the world began
Satan's followed every man
Trapping evil if he can
I tell you now his greatest plan
Invented when I cannot tell
Defied the thoughts of man so well
Man wants money for his need
But soon it sows it's evil seed
Unhappiness it only brings
As man wants more and better things
If not enough the evil lies
But soon you'll find somebody dies
Throughout the years there have been wars
Power and richness have been the cause
Trapped in money's evil net
Man wants more than he can get
You don't need money
No, no, no, no
You don't need money
No, no, no, no
You don't need money
... etc.
It'll never bring you love
No more than the sun above
You'll never see the end
The money you will surely spend
But ask for help if you sin
Reclaim yourself, what a state you're in
The devil has you in his grasp
There ain't no mercy you can ask
More and more you will need
You're strangled in the clutch of greed
You can't get out, no place to go
You sold your soul - the answer's no!
