I've been spending money like a king
But I'm not a king
I'm just a commoner
Theses days I'm grocery lists and phone bill bones
But I'm not a credit card
I thought I was a girl
It's just what we do
That's what you always said
So I guess I'll play the part until I'm dead
Vehicle mechanic stole my pride
And I'm always driving off unsatisfied
The chiropractors cracking me like keys
Pounding pianos
Taking the music out of me
It's just what we do
That's what you always said
So I guess I'll play the part until I'm dead
Fill my coffin and let my stomach have
All theses possessions all theses golden calves
I swore I wouldn't let it make a fool of me
But I'm playing one so well so let it be
Oh oh oh
I've been buying things I never need
What a thrill to have all
These meaningless and stupid little things
I've been saying yes when I mean no
But I'm not a movie star
I'm just a curtain rope
It's just what we do
That's what you always said
And so I'll play the part
Until I am a dead man
And I'll earn a handsome living in society's applause
And all this time spent spending will mean nothing
When I'm gone
But I'm not a king
I'm just a commoner
Theses days I'm grocery lists and phone bill bones
But I'm not a credit card
I thought I was a girl
It's just what we do
That's what you always said
So I guess I'll play the part until I'm dead
Vehicle mechanic stole my pride
And I'm always driving off unsatisfied
The chiropractors cracking me like keys
Pounding pianos
Taking the music out of me
It's just what we do
That's what you always said
So I guess I'll play the part until I'm dead
Fill my coffin and let my stomach have
All theses possessions all theses golden calves
I swore I wouldn't let it make a fool of me
But I'm playing one so well so let it be
Oh oh oh
I've been buying things I never need
What a thrill to have all
These meaningless and stupid little things
I've been saying yes when I mean no
But I'm not a movie star
I'm just a curtain rope
It's just what we do
That's what you always said
And so I'll play the part
Until I am a dead man
And I'll earn a handsome living in society's applause
And all this time spent spending will mean nothing
When I'm gone
