Take It Away

I made a fortune
Oh won’t somebody stop me
Oh won’t somebody drop me where I came in
I could buy anything
Even birds on the wing
Nobody knows who I am
Till today I was a wealthy man
I had everything a human can
Now it doesn’t mean a thing
You can have everything today
Take it away, take it away
Take it away
First it was hundreds
Then it turned into thousands
And it won’t stop at millions, I know so well
You can make just enough
Then the going gets tough
Now you can see for yourself
Now you can take it
So you don’t have to make it
Don’t pretend you don’t need it, I know that you do
If you wake up and scream
In a tinderbox dream
Please don’t return it to me
