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 its 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!
