Baby picks off your plate-yours looks better
  And she throws hers on the floor
  Here, in the home of the brave
  And the land of the free
  The first word that baby learns is "more"
  So you're out there floating like a big, puffy cloud
  With the pool and the charcoal
  and the kids and the wife
  'Til the reruns of your dreams are interrupted
  And you step out into life
  
  And it's still gimme, gimme what you got
  I said gimme, gimme what you got
  (I want it, I want it)
  Gimme, gimme what you got
  Now it's take and take and takeover, takeover
  It's all take and never give
  All these trumped up towers
  They're just golden showers
  Where are people supposed to live?
  You can arm yourself, alarm yourself
  But there's nowhere you can run
  'Cause a man with a briefcase
  can still more money
  Than any man with a gun
  I said gimme, gimme what you got
  Said gimme, gimme what you got
  Gimme, gimme what you got
  Gimme, gimme what you got
  You got the price of admission
  You don't have to ask permission
  To take somethin' from another man
  You cross a lawyer with the godfather, baby
  Make you an offer that you can't understand
  From Main Street to Wall Street to Washington
  From men to women to men
  It's a nation of noses pressed up against the glass
  They've seen it on the TV
  And they want it pretty fast
  You spend your whole life
  Just pilin' it up there
  You got stack and stacks and stacks
  Then, Gabriel comes and taps you on the shoulder
  But you don't see no hearses with luggage racks
  Gimme, gimme what you got
  I said gimme, gimme what you got
  I said gimme, gimme what you got
  (I want it, I want it)
  Gimme, gimme what you got
