Nobody takes their cases to court
Not ever if there are adequate grounds for suspicion
O.K., well I'll make it short
They take their grade in their jobs by our kind permissionMONEY RULES EVERTHING AND NOTHING ELSE
EVERYBODY WANTS THAT COULOURED PAPER DOESN'T MATTER
WHICH MEANS TO GET IT SOONER OR LATERListen, I'll make a long story short
It's hard to accuse the big shots of a crime
Maybe they are the owner of the court of law
And soon they turn the table around and charge you with a crimeMONEY RULES EVERTHING AND NOTHING ELSE
EVERYBODY WANTS THAT COULOURED PAPER DOESN'T MATTER
WHICH MEANS TO GET IT SOONER OR LATERBut who knows, what money makes
Makes out of me, makes out of me
Maybe I'll get it sooner, sooner or later
We will seeThey lead the life of Riley, that's a matter of fact
It's nearly impossible, that they will be caught in the act
They enjoy getting on the crazy train
And they move in the world with blood and painMONEY RULES EVERTHING AND NOTHING ELSE
EVERYBODY WANTS THAT COULOURED PAPER DOESN'T MATTER
WHICH MEANS TO GET IT SOONER OR LATER
