Gimmee Gimmee

Gotta have what you have 
You have more than you need 
So you have to give 
            Some of it to meeeee 
                                  Gimmee what you have, give it to meeeee 
You shouldn't be allowed to have more 
Than everyone else 
                          You should't be allowed to live In such a nicer house 
                         Or to drive a better car 
                         Or enjoy life with a far smarter and more beautiful spouse 
You have all the toys, you go anywhere you wish 
You have yachts 
And a personal chef 
And a pure-bred designer dog 
                                             It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair 
                                             It's absolutely no-way-in-hell fair 
                                             Do you hear? 
                                             Do you hear?
                                             Do you hear? 
          I'm going to demand the government 
                                Take away all your nice, pretty things
Take away all your money
         Take away all your influence 
                  Take away your skills 
                           Take away your abilities 
                                    Take away your privilege 
And give it all to me 
                         To me 
                         To me
                         To me 
'cause you shouldn't be able to make so much money 
                                   Regardless of how much harder you work 
                   Or how many more risks you take 
                                   Or soul-destroying sacrifices you make
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair 
It's absolutely no-way-in-hell fair 
                         Gotta have what you have 
                         You can't be allowed to have more than me 
Gimmee that big house 
Gimme that fast car
Gimmee that smart, beautiful spouse
Give it all to me, it's only fair 
                      Fair is what life is supposed to be
                                                     That's the way I demand it to be 
The government needs to set up 
                                                   A Department of Redistribution 
                                                                               Of the things you have 
                                           In order to give them all to me 
                                           It's only fair 'cause I didn't have 
                                                          Your advantages 
                                                          Your education 
                                                          Your luck 
                                                          Your friends 
                                                          Your persistence 
                                                          Your relationships 
Or any of the other things you had 
                                             That made it possible for you to succeed 
Gotta have, gotta have, gotta have, gotta have 
What you have
                 Just hand it all over, set yourself free 
Free from the burden of being more successful than me
