Lyrics: Soundtrack Artists. All About The Green.


Glen:
There's a big shiny future
You've been dying to buy
Better start power lunching
In your power tie
You can't wait for fate
To somehow intervene
If you wanna be somebody
It's all about the green

Robbie (spoken):
I'm sure it's a little more complicated...

Glen (sung):
It's all about the green

Some may say you're headed
Down a crooked trail
But if you sell your soul,
At least you've made a sale
You could end world hunger
Or create a vaccine
But if you wanna be somebody
It's all about the green

Junior Secretary (spoken):
Hey, Gulia, I just got back from Seattle.
There's a coffee store there that's thinking of going national.
Did you get my memo on that?

Glen (spoken):
Nobody's ever gonna pay three bucks for a cup of coffee!
Bring me some real tips!

Second Suit (spoken):
I got something - my brother-in-law works for Coca-Cola.
They're changing their formula - gonna sell it as "New Coke".
