1
Baby picks off your plate--yours look's better
2
And she throws hers on the floor
3
Here, in the home of the brave
4
And the land of the free
5
The first word that baby learns is more
6
So you're out there floating like a big, puffy cloud
7
With the pool and the charcoal
8
And the kids and the wife
9
Til the reruns of your dreams are interrupted
10
And you step out into life
11
And it's still gimme, gimme what you got
12
Gimme, gimme what you got
13
I said gimme, gimme what you got
14
(I want it, I want it)
15
Gimme, gimme what you got
16
Now it's take and take takeover, takeover
17
It's all take and never give
18
All these trumped up towers
19
They're just golden showers
20
Where are people supposed to live?
21
You can arm yourself, alarm yourself
22
But there's nowhere you can run
23
'Cause a man with a briefcase
24
Can steal more money
25
Than any man with a gun
26
I said gimme, gimme what you got
27
Said gimme, gimme what you got
28
Gimme, gimme what you got
29
Gimme, gimme what you got
30
You got the price of admission--
31
You don't have to ask permission
32
To take somethin' from another man
33
You cross a lawyer with the godfather, baby
34
Make you an offer that you can't understand
35
From Main Street to Wall Street to Washington
36
From men to women to men
37
It's a nation of noses pressed up against the glass
38
They've seen it on the TV
39
And they want it pretty fast
40
You spend your whole life
41
Just pilin' it up there
42
You got stacks and stacks and stacks
43
Then, Gabriel comes and taps you on the shoulder
44
But you don't see no hearses with luggage racks
45
Gimme, gimme what you got
46
I said gimme, gimme what you got
47
I said gimme, gimme what you got
48
(I want it, I want it)
49
Gimme, gimme what you got
