| Lyrics |
All ?round your town you see them meet
They?re everywhere on every street
They?re planning ways, to get to you
To get your money, before they?re through
Everybody?s got a cause
A new one every day
There?s so many, I?m confused
I don?t know who to pay
They promise things you?ll never see
Don?t know ?bout you, but it bothers me
So I sit and wonder where the money goes
But they?d prefer it, if you don?t know
Everybody?s got a cause
A new one every day
There?s so many, I?m confused
I don?t know who to pay
Everywhere there are benefits
Raising money for a noble cause
So why it seems what?s going on,
Is skirtin' limits of the laws
They?re on the phone, they?re at the door
In every airport, askin? for more
Seems they?re collecting a pile of dough
But nothing changes, so where?s it go?
Everybody?s got a cause
A new one every day
There?s so many, I?m confused
I don?t know who to pay
