don't let the green grass fool you, you can never get to it
it's on the other side
awful high fences, and damned expensive
'cause once you get over it you won't be satisfied

rich man lawyer with his three piece suit
three martini lunch, a few scotches to boot
gettin old while he's still young, dies a little each day
and the man at the bank drives a sherman tank
he's got a three car garage and a penchant for crank
and he'll never be happy, cause there'll always be more

fat cat bureaucrat hoarding every dime
saving all his money while he spends his time
lying to the people that are paying his way
and the hollywood movie star got himself a fancy car
a fancy house and fancy clothes
he's got it made in the shade, and he'll trade it away
for the sake of the spoon in his nose

so you got yourself a money man, and he's fixed you up real nice
he's gonna make you big-time, if you're willing to pay the price
everybody's got a price
