Money For Nothing
Empire Cast Lyrics

Consumers, silver spooners
We profit from the financial dependence of the affluent.

It's nothin', we get money for it
We take advantage of trivialities to make a profit.

Commas and zeros, that's the way we do it
We accumulate wealth through quantity rather than quality.

We make it work in this economy
We thrive by adapting to and exploiting the current economic climate.

Rollin' dinero, pockets stay polluted
We amass a fortune, even if it means our reputations suffer.

Money is dirty and we don't play clean
We obtain wealth even if it means engaging in unethical or illegal activities.

We chasin' paper, run, run, hurry, move it
We are driven to obtain wealth quickly and relentlessly by any means necessary.

Get out the way if you ain't 'bout that green
We refuse to let anyone or anything stand in the way of our financial success.

Intensive labor, taxes are included
We work tirelessly despite the additional burden of paying taxes.

Ain't nothin' in this effin' world for free
We believe that everything comes at a cost, and that cost is often monetary.

We got to install microwave ovens
We take advantage of the demand for new technology to create more wealth.

Custom kitchen deliveries
We provide a specialized service to cater to the needs of the affluent.

We got to move these refrigerators
We seek out opportunities to sell and transport large goods to make a profit.

We got to move these color TVs
We capitalize on the popularity of television to make more money.

We are the people who turn illegal to legal
We are experts at manipulating the law to our advantage and making a profit.

We take the good, turn it evil, create more sales than the Beatles
We twist and distort things to make more money than even the most successful commercial acts.

And the lion's our logo, we the sharks in the water
We use predatory imagery to convey our aggressive and ruthless approach to business.

Multimedia moguls, more offices than the oval
We have expanded our operations to succeed in multiple industries and occupy more workspaces than the President.

We do everything, pull up in the game to entertain
We are versatile and adaptable, using our talents to entertain and succeed in various fields.

Finish it by any means necessary
We will do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means breaking the rules or resorting to dirty tactics.

We everywhere, millionaires, billionaires, visionary
We have spread throughout the world, and our success is unmatched by most due to our long-term vision.

Back to business, let's just spend, think it in and celebrate
We celebrate our financial success, but always return to business and continue to spend and make more money.

(Move that work, move that work) Commercialize, commercialize
We see everything as an opportunity to make a profit through advertising and commercialization.

(Get that work, get that work) To advertise, to advertise
We constantly seek new ways to promote and sell our products and services for maximum financial gain.

(Make it work, make it work) Look mom, I'm on TV
We celebrate our financial success and status by appearing on television and showcasing our accomplishments to the world.

(Gotta make it work, make it work) Hi mom, I'm on TV
We revel in the attention that comes with being on television, and use it to further our financial success.

My talent's worth a fortune (500)
We recognize the value of our abilities and use them to make a significant profit.

They know that I'm a boss
We exude confidence and assert dominance over others in order to command respect and make more money.

I got the ice flossin'
We display our wealth proudly through ostentatious displays of jewelry and other luxurious items.

I'm all about my business (all about my money)
We prioritize financial success above all else and focus our efforts on making more money.
