She was comin to town on a whirlwind tour
And my baby just had to go
So I stood in line for 16 hours for a 90-minute show
I spent 87 dollars for nosebleed tickets
And another 20 on a beer
It kinda looked like Madonna but a whole lot smaller
I couldn't really tell from there
[Chorus]
I want my money
I want my money back
I know its gone I should move on
But that don't change the fact
It just ain't right
No way nobody should do somebody like that
So where's my money
I want my money back
I spent 4 long years fillin up my head with a higher education
They promised me the skills I need to improve my situation
45 grand bought a long black gown and a tassel on my hat
Now I'm qualified to super-size
And say do you want fries with that
[Chorus]
I want my money
I want my money back
I know its gone I should move on
But that don't change the fact
It just ain't right
No way nobody should do somebody like that
So where's my money
I want my money back
I know I'm only dreamin, yeah
I'm never gonna see it again
But it doesn't hurt to ask
It just ain't right
No way nobody should do somebody like that
I want my money
Where's my money
Find that money 'cause I need my money
Gimme my money
I want my money back
Gimme my money back
Gimme my money back
I want my money back
And my baby just had to go
So I stood in line for 16 hours for a 90-minute show
I spent 87 dollars for nosebleed tickets
And another 20 on a beer
It kinda looked like Madonna but a whole lot smaller
I couldn't really tell from there
[Chorus]
I want my money
I want my money back
I know its gone I should move on
But that don't change the fact
It just ain't right
No way nobody should do somebody like that
So where's my money
I want my money back
I spent 4 long years fillin up my head with a higher education
They promised me the skills I need to improve my situation
45 grand bought a long black gown and a tassel on my hat
Now I'm qualified to super-size
And say do you want fries with that
[Chorus]
I want my money
I want my money back
I know its gone I should move on
But that don't change the fact
It just ain't right
No way nobody should do somebody like that
So where's my money
I want my money back
I know I'm only dreamin, yeah
I'm never gonna see it again
But it doesn't hurt to ask
It just ain't right
No way nobody should do somebody like that
I want my money
Where's my money
Find that money 'cause I need my money
Gimme my money
I want my money back
Gimme my money back
Gimme my money back
I want my money back

It's about a man who thinks he was ripped off for buying concert tickets and a college education. He didn't like the results of either thing, and now he is telling a ticket seller and a college dean to give him back his money so he won't get ripped off when he spends it on things that don't quite match what the advertisements for them tell him when he bought them.
