Gerry Rafferty - Can I Have My Money Back? lyrics

rate me

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?

Can I have my money back, please sir?

I don't hear what you're sayin', don't care what you're doin'

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?

Can I have my money back, please sir?

Went to the movies and the movie broke down

The picture on the screen was going ‘round and ‘round

I'd spent all I had getting in to see the show

So I walked up to the man and I said I'd like to go.

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?

Can I have my money back, please sir?

I don't hear what you're sayin', don't care what you're doin'

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?

Can I have my money back, please sir?

I heard a preacher man say his way was the best

So I took up his religion and forgot about the rest

Then I heard another one calling out my name

I went and took a closer look, he was just the same.

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?

Can I have my money back, please sir?

I don't hear what you're sayin', don't care what you're doin'

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?

Can I have my money back, please sir?

Listen to the lies from the politician man

Saying that we live in a democratic land

One land for the rich, another for the poor

And if you try to change it, they'll nail you to the floor.

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?

Can I have my money back, please sir?

I don't hear what you're sayin', don't care what you're doin'

Can I have my money back, money back, money back?

Can I have my money back, please sir?
