  • Hey baby
    I want to know
    How much
    Did you get for your soul?
    You had the gospel
    When you were shackled to a tree
    Now you've got your freedom
    You sing for the money
    Soul
    Soul
    Soul
    Soul
    How much did ya
    How much did ya
    How much did ya get?

    Hey babe
    Tell me please
    How much
    Did you get for that sleaze?
    You finally made it
    Right up to the top
    Millions of kids are looking at you
    You say "let them drink soda pop"
    Soul
    Soul
    Soul
    Soul
    How much did ya
    How much did ya
    How much did ya get?

    Who's got soul?
    Who's got soul?
    From the African nation
    To the Pepsi generation
    Who's got soul?
    Who's got soul?

    It dwell from tree to sea
    Every living entity
    Share the super soul
    We got super soul
    Who's got soul?
    Who could think that you're for real -
    A puppet in a cabaret
    To increase your wealth
    Baby realize yourself

    Hey baby
    I want to know
    From the 'a-go-go' to the disco
    Where did you really go?
    You finally made it
    You're gonna make it rich
    As long as some poor bastard in Africa
    Is lying in a ditch
    Soul
    Soul
    Soul
    Soul
    How much did ya
    How much did ya
    How much did ya get? Writer/s: CHRISTINE HYNDE
