Lyrics
We need this
Dope to smoke
We'll fix this
And get our fix
We found out
How to live forever
We'll pound out
A trillion dollars
We'll fix you
We got the stuff
We call it
A trillion dollars
Bombs away
I'm Helicopter Ben
I can save this
For the Common Man
If you'll just trust me
We'll be making history
And in the morning it had all fallen down
Tripping to the tune of the man with the frown
We'll shoot up
All the money
We'll shoot you
With all our dollars
We know you
And what you need
You need love
And lots of dollars
We fix rates
Rates fix you
Lets make love
To all our dollars
Bombs away
I'm Helicopter Ben
I can save this
For the Common Man
If you'll just trust me
We'll be making history
And in the morning it had all fallen down
Tripping to the tune of the man with the frown
