But if you look a little closer it's got a dark and evil side

He's got whatever you want as long as you've got the money
Am                                     Em                      Am

They ain't slept in days, they've been whipping up another batch
       Am                      Em                      Am
They'll mix it up in the same tub they give the baby a bath

He's got a pretty young wife who gets it all in the will
Am                                       C
