Livin' on a razor's edge Sharper than a knife Surrender to the power of wedge Keep running for your life You don't need no periscope You won't need second sight It'll come at you so fast my friend It's thank you and goodnight
Chorus Caught in the river You can't stop the flood That's the power of money, paper blood
Ambition flies on silver wings
Searching for a crown King of kings, they pull the strings Until they run you down No matter what you've undergone The measure of success Is how much you can charge it on American express
Chorus
You don't need to drive a car And you don't need a house And you don't need a guiding star When living like a mouse In the presidenttial suite They'd rather see you burn Ducking and diving just to make ends meet To the point of no return
