I think it`s only fair to say we`d welcome riches down our way,
F                    G         F               C
No stigma knotted in my hair i want to be a millionaire.

[Verse 1]
G                     C        G                       C
Never the less i must insist a thought is spared for those who missed,
G                         C             G              C
The handouts when it came to wealth to education and good health,
    G                     C            G               C
The time has come now all can see as seeing this is killing me,
   G                  C         G                 C
Our future victim to command together we can lend a hand.

   F                     G              F                    G
So don`t blame me for wanting more the facts are too hard to ignore,
F                       G          F                 C
I`m scared to death of poverty i only want whats best for me.

[Verse 2]
   G              C            G                     C
But even so i`m holding on i think the world can live as one,
G                    C               G                     C
If only credence took the lead the world would see a world to feed,
  G                 C                  G                   C
An endless sea of blood that`s spilt enough to sail an ark of guilt,
      G                 C                    G                 C
And when we lend our helping hand we`ll have our green and pleasant land.
