lyrics

He only lies when he opens his mouth
Walled up inside of his generous house

He said how many does it take?
How many does it take?

He's shredding documents two at a time
Cooked up the balance sheet and selling as prime

How many does it take?
How many does it take?
Are you ready, you ready, you ready for deliverance?
Did they really, they really, believe it was coincidence?

He knew the market like the back of his hand
He played the game like monopoly man
He's like a Robin Hood who robs from the poor
Of course he only steals what isn't nailed to the floor

He said
How many does it take?
He said how many fools we make
You know it's never, it's never, it's never going to be enough
But how many?
