I spent fifty weeks
Crawlin' round on bended knees
Just to please you and the rules you set for me
Waiting for the man
With an invoice in my hand
Clamoring I did the work and the credit's finally due
Does it bother you?
Don't forget the money (oh!)
Don't forget the money (oh!)
Don't forget the money
No, you can't keep bleeding me of the time I spend
Taken for a ride
Sweeping castles in the sky
Promised I might seize the prize if I rush on through
But the boss man of my train
Keeps his gravy somewhere safe
I'm made to think he'll share his drink when the credit's finally due
Can you send it through?
Don't forget the money (oh!)
Don't forget the money (oh!)
Don't forget the money
No, you can't
You left me hanging
High and dry on the wire
Patience runs out, I find a match, and I light the fire
Don't forget the money
Don't forget the money (oh!)
Don't forget the money
No, you can't keep bleeding me of the time I spend
