I didn't use to be this way Was a good kid back in the day Safe to say things have changed Yeah I remember when I brushed my teeth every night Held my pretty little girlfriend tight I didn't let the bedbugs bite But that was so long ago And now I've lived long enough to know You take the money and run Don't wait till the deal is done I'm telling you son Take the money and run Step out the back Shoot like a bullet from a gun Boy don't be dumb Just take the muh- muh- muh- muh-money and run You're asking me what I would do With a cool one milli or two Safe to say I pity the fool Who does the right thing And follows the voice in his heart I wish I was told from the start There's no such thing as art But that was so long ago And now I've lived long enough to know You take the money and run Don't wait till the deal is done I'm telling you son Take the money and run Step out the back Shoot like a bullet from a gun Boy don't be dumb Just take the muh- muh- muh- muh-money and run I'm not gonna beg for it Not even gonna break a sweat for it, no no Gonna pocket the cash like Jumpin' Jack Flash now Not gonna repent for the greedy old man that I've become You take the money and run Don't wait till the deal is done I'm telling you son Take the money and run Step out the back Shoot like a bullet from a gun Boy don't be dumb Just take the muh- muh- muh- muh-muh-muh-muh...
