Lyrics
Well it's the same old story, not enough resources
To supply my needs, well that's survival to me
While you sit high and mighty, living like a king
And the worlds at your feet, but that's no big thing
And money's a game, a new day a new car
It helps your social stat, lets you live like a star
But what's so different, from someone like you and like me?
We put our pants on the same, you nothing has changed
But you end up with fortune and fame
I want to taste the good life, I want my piece of pie
Want my name in lights, across the sky
The good life, that's where I want to be
Me owning money, instead of it, owning me
Well not so long ago, we both had dreams
To live successfully, but what's become of me
I'm working like a slave, doing nine to five
Putting food on the table, just trying to stay alive
Payin bill after bill, has got money so tight
The God awful pressure, keeps me up all night
But now your on top, now your the king of the hill
Not a single worry, not a single care, you know it's just not fair
I want to taste the good life, I want my piece of pie
Want my name in lights, across the sky
The good life, that's where I want to be
Me owning money, instead of it, owning me
They used to say, it's not what, but who it was you knew
But now it's much worse, it's not who you know, now it's who you blow
I want to taste the good life, I want my piece of pie
Want my name in lights, across the sky
The good life, that's where I want to be
Me owning money, instead of it, owning me
