Columbus sailed the ocean blue |
|
To see what he would fine |
|
With visions of another world |
|
They said he'd lost his mind |
|
But when he told them of the land he'd found |
|
A land so rich with gold |
|
To get the treasures on the other side |
|
They left the lad of old to |
|
Get rich now |
|
Get rich now |
|
Get rich now |
|
Get rich now |
|
Napoleon thought that he could be |
|
The ruler of it all |
|
The things he wanted were so very big |
|
But he was very small |
|
They spread the word throughout the land |
|
That he would soon be king |
|
But his greed and pride got in the way |
|
And he lost everything to |
|
Get rich now |
|
Get rich now |
|
Get rich now |
|
Get rich now |
|
Oh the president and the generals |
|
Are getting ready for a war |
|
The only thing that they don't know |
|
Is what they're fighting for |
|
They shine their suits of armor |
|
And they tell us to prepare |
|
While they take wealth and freedom |
|
And just leave us standing there |
|
Get rich now |
