| Well, it’s been said before, the world is a stage
|

|
| The more they get, the more they need
|
| And every time they get harder and harder to please

|
| You gotta give the people what they want
|
| Blow out your brains and do it right

| Make sure it’s prime time and on a Saturday night
|
| You gotta give the people what they want
|
| You gotta give the people what they want
|
| Give the people what they want
|
| Give the people what they want
