Larry Troutman - We Need the Buck lyrics

I might not be smart enough To solve the problems of the world Seems to be somethin' wrong With the way things are goin' They've got so many ways To cure the ills But the problems keep on growin' They want a camp in space experiment An' make the people pay the rent All the money I make That the bills don't take I got to give to the government I can't use it, no no Politician people I think you outta know Got a message right here for you We ('re) cool but we need the money Gotta have the buck We cool but we need the money Gotta have the buck We cool but we need the money Itchin' everybody, itchin' everybody Itchin' everybody, afternoon Money, there used to be enough Where has all the money gone? Wfro's keepin' it from us? Sing it to the people I want to sing it to them now I wanna tell you You got million factory workers With no place to toil We got an earth full of resources Zinc, coal and oil Let me tell ya Let me tell ya Let me tell ya Let me tell ya We want to work Let us work We want to work Let us work I understand the system It's kinda plain to see You get what you earn The rest you can't have Don't you give nothin' to me Sing it to the people I want to sing it to them now There's a What is he to do? We got old folks turnin' to crime 'Cause they can't find no food We've got to feed the hungry people Yes we do do do We've got to feed the hungry people Be your brother's keeper We ('re) cool but we need the money Gotta have the buck We cool but we need the money Gotta have the buck We cool but we need the money Got to have the buck I got to have it, yeah Got to have the buck We need it Got to have the buck Got to have the buck We need it We ('re) cool but we need the money Gotta have the buck We cool but we need the money Gotta have the buck We cool but we need the money To pay my bills Everyday To buy some food To pay my rent' Can I play, y'all? I feel like groovin' Come an' play for me It sounds so good Sounds so good Play play play play play My my my my my OH, play for me Roger
