Hey, stand up
Ruthless people

Hey, stand up
Ruthless people
Rude people


They love the smell of the kill and
The flesh
Gorging till they've had their fill of
Success

Dealing their mother to get into
Paradise
Pay Jesus special protection
Ain't it wise?

Hey, stand up
Ruthless people
So deceitful


What'd I tell you?

Hey, come on, stand up - get up on your feet
Ruthless people
Greed and evil

What'd I say?

Greedy forever and ever, success
Greedy and ever so clever, a mess
Given the right on to creep into paradise
They'll even blackmail St. Peter, then pay the price

Hey, stand up - get on your feet
Ruthless people
Greed and evil, oh yes

You can have it if you want it
It might take the rest of your life
If you want it, you can have it
Do a balancing act on a knife

You can have it if you want it
If you think it's cheap at the price
If you want it, you can have it
But sweat your sweet soul out of lies

Ruthless people
Ruthless people
Ruthless people
Ruthless people

You better watch your back now

Hey
Ruthless people

Ruthless, ruthless, ruthless, ruthless people

Hey, stand up
