Gimme your body, gimme your mind
Open your heart, pull down your blinds
Gimme your love, gimme it all
Gimme in the kitchen, gimme in the hall
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Gimme the readys, gimme the cash
Gimme a bullet, gimme a smash
Gimme a silver, gimme a gold
Make it a million for when I get old
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Money talks, so listen to it
Money talks to me
Anyone can understand it
Money can't be beat, oh no
When you get down, down to the root
Don't give a damn, don't give a hoot
Still gotta keep makin' the loot, chauffeur driven
Gotta make her quick as you can
Give her lovin', make you a man
Get her in the palm of your hand, bread from Heaven
Gimme a country where I can be free
Don't need the unions, buryin' in me
Keep me in exile the rest of my days
Burn me in hell but as long as it pays
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
(Repeat....)
Open your heart, pull down your blinds
Gimme your love, gimme it all
Gimme in the kitchen, gimme in the hall
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Gimme the readys, gimme the cash
Gimme a bullet, gimme a smash
Gimme a silver, gimme a gold
Make it a million for when I get old
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Money talks, so listen to it
Money talks to me
Anyone can understand it
Money can't be beat, oh no
When you get down, down to the root
Don't give a damn, don't give a hoot
Still gotta keep makin' the loot, chauffeur driven
Gotta make her quick as you can
Give her lovin', make you a man
Get her in the palm of your hand, bread from Heaven
Gimme a country where I can be free
Don't need the unions, buryin' in me
Keep me in exile the rest of my days
Burn me in hell but as long as it pays
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
Art for art's sake, money for God's sake
(Repeat....)
