When I’m Rich (lyrics)

     

    I’ve suffered tedium turned up to medium
    read about a thing called life without actually leading one
    Poverty brings
    a life spent saving up for things
    never one day as a king

    By nature I am
    a very small fish in a very large frying pan
    To rise from beneath
    I have grown teeth
    My morality was weighing me down

    In this Western world
    first you get the money
    then you get more money

    I wish to serve you a dish
    of vengeance brought to boiling point on an aga bought and fueled by my avarice
    now that you ask me, what is my wish?
    when I’m rich
    when I’m rich
    when I’m rich
    when I’m rich

    The world will bow
    to the wealthy man

    I’ve been taught since the earliest age
    There’s no such thing as a free lunch unless that is you put your money in the stock exchange
    Critical thinking
    is a dangerous thing
    with dinosaurs roaming the pains

    A parasite’s what I’ve become
    I don’t mind tearing my pound of flesh from anyone
    The game was so stacked
    I had to react
    now money is all I can love

    In this Western world
    all that counts is power
    money buys you power

    And any woman who dares turn me down?
    You can bet your bottom dollar she will never work again in this or any town
    and fuck all my friends
    I don’t need them
    when money’s the best friend I’ve found

    In this Western world
    love is where you find it
    money lets you buy it

    I’ll buy your love
    as a wealthy man
