Power, Sex & Money Letra

I'd like to go to heaven when I grow up Way beyond the clouds where it's always sunny 'Cause I'm really so good, it's just the neighborhood -- Everybody's runnin' after power, sex and money Running, running, running after power, sex and money I've heard it's true, there's a chosen few Who find splendor in the grass & glory in the flower I'll be one of them, too -- just as soon as I'm through Accumulating money, sex & power I'm ruminating 'bout money, sex & power The more I want the less I've got It's a circle game, it's a devil's knot They always look so happy in the magazines -- Those Marlboro men and Maybelline queens Angels up above, are you watching me? From where you sit, I must look pretty funny, All tangled up in vanity Dazzled by power, sex and money What's so great about power, sex and money? I'm so tired of trying to compete And even when I win, I still feel incomplete Like a roller coaster junkie on a carnival ride Circling around, high off the ground, Doomed to go down unsatisfied I dreamed last night I ran away Far from the city, clear out of the country When I got there, not one damn thing had changed Just foreign variations on power sex and money China guys chasing after power sex & money Hungarians hungry for power sex & money Calcuttians calculating . . . Scottsmen scheming . . . Salvadorians salivating . . . Californians dreaming . . .
