I made my money and I took it to the driving-fast man
I said I would like to be driving just as fast as I can
I need some speed and I need to be bad
I need to win respect that I never had
Why pay your money for what does not satisfy?
I took my new car and I drove it to the looking-good man
I said "please make me more attractive than the person I am"
He sold me some muscles and he shaved down my nose
Then got me fitted in some really neat clothes
Why pay your money for what does not satisfy?
Now I am driving, I'm finally arriving
Now I am looking really very good
Now I am wondering what else to be buying
I took what I had left and I gave it to the happiness man
I said I would like to be happy, as happy as I can
He said, "boy, why did you come to me last?"
Then he just smiled and he handed it back
And he said
"Why pay your money for what does not satisfy?"
Satisfy
