I got a long blond hair in a ponytail
I got a leatherjacket on and I’m on my way
I don’t drink no more than a gallon a day
I’m a happy go-getter with a thing to say
We let the fools do the running
We let the fools do the running
We don’t run for the money
We let the fools do the running
I don’t know where the flowerchild stuff has gone
People run for the money and they sleep alone
They wanna look good but they hurt inside
They worry about life as life goes by
We let the fools do the running
We let the fools do the running
We don’t run for the money
We let the fools do the running
They live it up tryin’ to get ahead
They can’t stop, not before they’re dead
It’s all about money, all about fame
This whole damn world’s going down the drain
We let the fools do the running
We let the fools do the running
We don’t run for the money
We let the fools do the running
I can’t stand seein’ all my friends go down
They’re buyin’ this yuppie crap all around
They say they love that rock’n’roll
But the fact is baby they’re gettin’ old
We let the fools do the running
We let the fools do the running
We don’t run for the money
We let the fools do the running
We let the fools do the running
We let the fools do the running
We don’t run for the money
We let the fools do the running
