I remember when I was a bitter kid
Always looking at everyone in a piss
Thinking what would I do to just get a sniff
At the way they lived
Jealously having its way with me
Preventing me building a legacy
The hairs on the back of my neck standing as tall
As a forest imprisoning my enmity
Everyday getting so stressed
By people I don't know
'Cause they've got a nice car and a better phone
If I could only have the same
Even just for a day
But now I see everything in an entirely different way
Finally found the needle buried in the hay
If I went back in time what would I say then?
What would I say?
What would I say?
Much too dim to sling any skills
Goldbrick trigger won't pay the bills
Dance like a stripper to a hated song
I'm so happy your life's a freebie
Douse all the sparks and pluck the bulbs
Think trapezium
Freeze all the raindrops for your next martini
Harvest your thoughts and let them grow
Mind imperium
One step ahead the Casting Couch bikinis
I've never felt so energized from looking at life
Through these whimsical eyes
Money and suits look alike
How will you stand out from the horde on a hike?
Maybe I'm being dramatic?
Perhaps I'm over the top?
But since this competition started
I've failed to find a way to make it stop
Much too dim to sling any skills
Goldbrick trigger won't pay the bills
Dance like a stripper to a hated song
I'm so happy your life's a freebie
Douse all the sparks and pluck the bulbs
Think trapezium
Freeze all the raindrops for your next martini
Harvest your thoughts and let them grow
Mind imperium
One step ahead the Casting Couch bikinis
Don't waste your life admiring
The green-eyed jewels of envy
As they look down upon your life with
Such glee and antipathy
Nothing's worthwile when everything's free
Apartment 19 is cheap
You can't escape your social standing
Through the door of a penthouse suite
Overlooking the Thames with your Gucci Primarni
Best of friends
Show me how you spend it
Review your tax-free mandate
This town yearns red let's paint it
We're all due a forceful rebate
Big business buys elections
40 year age gap erections
I'll settle for gourmet noodles
Blowjobs, diamond rings, and poodles
Much too dim to sling any skills
Goldbrick trigger won't pay the bills
Dance like a stripper to a hated song
I'm so happy your life's a freebie
Douse all the sparks and pluck the bulbs
Think trapezium
Freeze all the raindrops for your next martini
Harvest your thoughts and let them grow
Mind imperium
One step ahead the Casting Couch bikinis
Douse all the sparks and pluck the bulbs
Think trapezium
Freeze all the raindrops for your next martini
Harvest your thoughts and let them grow
Mind imperium
One step ahead the Casting Couch bikinis
