*chorus
I got 22 dollars in my bank account
And I know that someday things are gonna turn around
But I wouldn't trade a thing if I could have you here
With my $22 in my bank account
(TWENTY...!)verse 1
You don't know how much time I spend all day thinkin'
The thought of you with me seems so clear
And when the stars are out I look up and start wishin'
I wish tonight that I could have you here
(YEAH…)
(Ooh…TO - NIGHT…)
Some people call me a pauper -
(TREAT YOU RIGHT...)
but I can promise you one thing
I'll give you all of me
(GIVE IT…GIVE YA ALL OF ME, GIRL…)*pre-chorus 1
(Ooh...TO - NIGHT...)
right now, I don't have much to offer
(FEELS SO RIGHT…)
But we're young, the sky's the limit
One day I'll make ya see - please…*chorus
I got - 22 dollars in my bank account
Searching for the things I need up in the lost and found
But I'll spend it all on you girl I don't even care
‘Cuz I want to see you smile - that's the only thing that matters -
I got 22 dollars in my bank account
And I know that someday things are gonna turn around
But I wouldn't trade a thing if I could have you here
With my $22 in my bank account
(TWENTY....!)verse 2
Every morning I get up and check my Visa - card…
Make sure I got enough money left - to feed ya
Cause I'm doing the paycheck to paycheck dance to make it
Gotta have enough bank left so I don't have to fake it
No…no…*pre-chorus
(Ooooh TO - NIGHT…)
I can't afford to buy you diamonds
(TREAT YOU RIGHT…)
But I promise you, promise you one thing -
I'll give you all of me
(GIVE IT, GIVE YA ALL OF ME, GIRL…)
(Ooh TO - NIGHT)
I'm not as rich as Paul Simon
(FEELS SO RIGHT…)
But We're Goin' to Scarborough Fair - just wait and see -*chorus
I got 22 Dollars in my bank account
I'm searching for the things I need up in the lost and found
But I'll spend it all on you girl, I don't even care…
Just gotta see you smile, that's the only thing that matters I got -
22 dollars in my bank account
And I know that someday things are gonna turn around
But I wouldn't trade a thing if I could have you here…
With my 22 dollars in my bank account…*outro
Y'know…22 dollars goes a lot farther than you think
Take you to Spain
Hop on over to Belgium
Then skip to London
Lay with me and watch the London Bridge fall down… -
Seven O’clock
and I'm on the spot
waiting for youUp and down the block
people chasing the clock

(That they need)They’re saying
‘I’m just not good enough
to do the deed’
(Don't Blow it, baby)*chorus:

verse 1:
Is this what you’ve got for me?
Is this all that you can be?
Tell your lies all day long
Sing your damned song
Flyin’ your fake empty flag
Askin’ why am I so mad
Pit one against one against one against one
Turn around and say tha’'s your gun*pre chorus:
You hide behind we wanna be pure and good
Like the founding fathers always said we should
Run your game, day and night confident we won't stand up and fight*chorus:
Look out now here we come
(Fightin’ for our lives, Fightin’ for our lives)
Look out now - here we come
Look out now
Look out now
(Run, run)..verse 2:
There’s a word for what you do
And it ain’t red, white -
Not even blue
Run the facts, yeah - right in to the ground
Do anything to escape brown
Do you really think that people sit for this
That the “ah - ha'’
Moment’s hit - or - miss
What we got for you,
Can’t read it in a poll
Step back jack
Save your soul*pre chorus:
Hide behind we just wanna be pure and good
Like the founding fathers always said we should
Run your game....run it hard -
Play the race card*chorus:
Look out now here we come
(Fightin’ for our lives, fightin’ for our lives)
Look out now here we come
Look out now
Look out now -
(Run…run…run...
run…run…RUN!*bridge:
Got in the White House
By takin’ up all the air
Climbed over bodies
as they lie on stair
I know you're happy ‘cause
There’s no - ‘O’ in the Oval...
Keep it up, keep it up
There’s a repair*chorus:
Look out now here we come
(Fightin’ for our lives, fightin’ for our lives)
Look out now here we come
Look out now…look out now…
