I don't like what I'm seeing
In the world today
Money talks people listen
'Cause everyone's on the make

I'm sick and tired of hearing
You gotta compromise
You'd better do some business
If you wanna survive

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hear the same thing everyday
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

If you want to get somewhere, you gotta pay the fare
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You got the answer right here in your hands
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If you want to get somewhere, you got to touch me there

Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Yeah, ow
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Ow, yeah

When I'm with you at night
And we're safe in my room
I let your love surround me
And the words have a different tune
Ow

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You got the answer right here in your hands
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
If you want to get somewhere, you got to touch me there

Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
Ow, yeah

Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
No, oh c'mon
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
No, c'mon

Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back and I'll scratch your back
Scratch my back or I won't play this game with you
