All About the Green

Lyrics

[GLEN] It's all about the green Some may say you're headed 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 [SUITS] Wanna be somebody [GLEN] It's all about the green [SUITS] Wanna be somebody [GLEN] It's all about the Big bucks Fat checks Midnight flights To LAX [GLEN AND SUIT #1] Slush funds High fives [GLEN AND SUIT #1, 2] Trading Stocks And trading wives [GLEN AND SUITS #1, 2, 3] C notes Half G's [GLEN AND SUITS #1, 2, 3, 4] Buying out The Japanese [GLEN AND SUITS #1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Land deals Down in Bocca [GLEN] Doing drinks With Iacocca Yeah, it's all about the green [SUITS] Wanna be somebody?
