We're doing so much good. Being filthy rich isn't dirty especially when you spread it around. So why should people care if we enjoy our fair share as long as we let it TRICKLE, TRICKLE, TRICKLE DOWN Thanks to us welfare is no more, Millions of jobs for the one-time poor. So why should people judge us? We ought to get a break. No one should begrudge us our Dom Perignon and steak. 'Cuz being filthy rich isn't dirty especially when you spread it around. So why should people care if we enjoy our fair share as long as we let it TRICKLE, TRICKLE, TRICKLE DOWN!
