Glen:
There's a big shiny future
You've been dying to buy
Better start power lunching
In your power tie
You can't wait for fate
To somehow intervene
If you wanna be somebody
It's all about the green

Robbie (spoken):
I'm sure it's a little more complicated...

Glen (sung):

Down a crooked trail
But if you sell your soul,
At least you've made a sale
You could end world hunger
Or create a vaccine
But if you wanna be somebody
It's all about the green

Hey, Gulia, I just got back from Seattle.

Did you get my memo on that?

Bring me some real tips!
