Can I Have My Money Back?

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?
Can I have my money back, please sir?
I don't hear what you're sayin’, don't care what you're doin’
Can I have my money back, money back, money back?
Can I have my money back, please sir?

Went to the movies and the movie broke down
The picture on the screen was going �round and �round
I'd spent all I had getting in to see the show
So I walked up to the man and I said I'd like to go.

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?
Can I have my money back, please sir?
I don't hear what you're sayin’, don't care what you're doin’
Can I have my money back, money back, money back?
Can I have my money back, please sir?

I heard a preacher man say his way was the best
So I took up his religion and forgot about the rest
Then I heard another one calling out my name
I went and took a closer look, he was just the same.

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?
Can I have my money back, please sir?
I don't hear what you're sayin’, don't care what you're doin’
Can I have my money back, money back, money back?
Can I have my money back, please sir?

Listen to the lies from the politician man
Saying that we live in a democratic land
One land for the rich, another for the poor
And if you try to change it, they'll nail you to the floor.

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?
Can I have my money back, please sir?
I don't hear what you're sayin’, don't care what you're doin’
Can I have my money back, money back, money back?
Can I have my money back, please sir?
