I've wondered this for a long time, after he says "If you want it, earn it with dignity", he lists some names (I think?).

Can anyone decipher what he's saying?
 
Here is the lyrics:


Money
(Money)
Lie for it
Spy for it
Kill for it
Die for it
So you call it trust
But I say it’s just
In the devil’s game
Of greed and lust
They don’t care
They’d do me for the money
They don’t care
They use me for the money
So you go to church
Read the Holy Word
In the scheme of life
It’s all absurd

They don’t care
They’d kill for the money
Do or dare
The thrill for the money

You’re saluting the flag
Your country trusts you
Now you’re wearing a badge
You’re called the “Just Few”
And you’re fighting the wars
A soldier must do
I’ll never betray or deceive you my friend but

If you show me the cash
Then I will take it
If you tell me to cry
Then I will fake it
If you give me a hand
Then I will shake it
You would do anything for money
Anything
Anything
Anything for money
I’d lie for you
Would die for you
I
Even sell my soul to the devil
Anything
Anything
Anything for money
I’d lie for you
Would die for you
I
Even sell my soul to the devil

Insurance
Where do your loyalties lie
Is that your alibi
I don’t think so
You don’t care
You’d do her for the money
Say it’s fair
You sue her for the money

Want your pot of gold
Need the Midas touch
Bet you sell your soul
’Cause your God is such

You don’t care
You kill for the money
Do or dare
The thrill for the money
Are you infected with the same disease
Of lust, gluttony and greed
Then watch the ones
With the biggest smiles
The idle jabbers
’Cause they’re the backstabbers

If you know it’s a lie
Then you will swear it
If you give it with guilt
Then you will bear it
If it’s taking a chance
Then you will dare it

You would do anything for money
Anything
Anything
Anything for money
I’d lie for you
Would die for you
I
Even sell my soul to the devil
Anything
Anything
Anything for money
I’d lie for you
Would die for you
I
Even sell my soul to the devil
Anything
Anything
Anything for money
I’d lie for you
Would die for you
I
Even sell my soul to the devil
Anything
Anything
Anything for money
I’d lie for you
Would die for you
I
Even sell my soul to the devil

You say you wouldn’t do it
For all the money in the world
I don’t think so
If you show me the man
Then I will sell him
If you ask me to lie
Then I will tell him
If it’s dealing with God
Then you will hell him

You would do anything for money
Anything
Anything
Anything for money
I’d lie for you
Would die for you
I
Even sell my soul to the devil
Anything
Anything
Anything for money
I’d lie for you
Would die for you
I
Even sell my soul to the devil
Anything
Anything
Anything for money
I’d lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Money makes the world go round
Money makes the world go round

Thank you, but it's not in there. It's said under the music, at around 3:19 he says "if you want it, earn it with dignity". Then at around 3:23, he starts listing things off under the chorus repeat.


If anyone can figure it out, i'd really like to know.

Thanks!
 
its references to people who have made millions or more isn't it? like rockerfeller was the first american billionaire
i always thought it was people who have made money from their own hard work or skill in contrast to his accusers who would say anything /tell any lie to earn money
 
That's the best guess i've heard so far, thanks! That's always bugged me that I couldn't hear what he says
