The Yardbirds
Ever Since the World Began
[Verse 1]
Ever since the world began
Satan's followed every man
Trapping evil if he can
I tell you now his greatest plan
[Verse 2]
Invented when I cannot tell
Defied the thoughts of man so well
Man wants money for his need
But soon it sows its evil seed
[Verse 3]
Unhappiness it only brings
As man wants more and better things
If not enough, the evil lies
But soon you'll find somebody died
[Verse 4]
Throughout the years, there have been wars
Power and richness have been the cause
Trapped in money's evil net
Man wants more than he can get
[Chorus]
(You don't need money) No, no, no, no
(You don't need money) No, no, no, no
(You don't need money) No, no, no, no
(You don't need money) No, no, no, no
(You don't need money) No, no, no, no
(You don't need money) No, no, no, no
(You don't need money) No, no, no, no
(You don't need money) No, no, no, no
[Alt. Verse 1]
(You don't need money) It'll never bring you love
(You don't need money) No more than the sun above
(You don't need money) You'll never see the end
(You don't need money) The money you will surely spend
(You don't need money) But ask for help if you sin
(You don't need money) Reclaim yourself from the state you're in
(You don't need money) The devil has you in his grasp
(You don't need money) There ain't no mercy you can ask
[Alt. Verse 2]
(You don't need money) More and more you will need
(You don't need money) You're strangled in the clutch of greed
(You don't need money) You can't get out, no place to go
(You don't need money) You sold your soul, the answer's no
