    We don't need your money, money,money

    We just wanna make the world dance,Forget about the price tagAin't about the cha-ching cha-chingAin't about the ba-bling ba-blingWanna make the world dance,Forget about the price tag

    We need to take it back in time, Whenmusic made us all unite!

    And it wasn't low blows and videohoes, Am I the only one getting tired?

    Why is everybody so obsessed? Moneycan't buy us happiness

    Can we all slow down and enjoy rightnow? Guarantee we'll be feeling alright
