Brought up in a generation Where little girls will soon be little stars Be rich, without doing anything And you could feed me lies of virtue To make me forget I hate everything Shut me up with a diamond ring Money Money It's what they taught me Why does it make my heart go round Picks us up when everybody's left So is this the real thing? Pay me to be happy Dollars make me feel things But another drink would heal my heart for free Is this the real me? Product of the big screen Remember we had big dreams I read it in my favorite magazine Sometimes I feel artificial And sometimes I just wanna feel the touch, the lust I dreamed when I was seventeen So lay me like your favorite mistress And only tell me things I want to hear The rush, of us Like you promised me Money Money It's what they taught me Why does it make my heart go round Picks us up when everybody's left So is this the real thing? Pay me to be happy Dollars make me feel things But another drink would heal my heart for free Is this the real me? Product of the big screen Remember we had big dreams I read it in my favorite magazine Money never made me young Money never made me proud It only kept my feet off of the ground Tell me can it make me happy Can it make me happy? So is this the real thing? Pay me to be happy Dollars make me feel things But another drink would heal my heart Is this the real me? Product of the big screen Remember we had big dreams I read it in my favorite magazine I swear TV made me do it I swear You swore you'd make me happy TV made me do it I swear
