RICH MAN’s WORLD

 

When I get money
I put it in my nose
The truth is ugly
I wanna overdose
Acting like money
Is a physical idea
So arbitrary
Yr my obsession turned into a career
I didn’t wanna lie to myself
That’s why I lie to everyone else
I try to fight it 
Then I try to hide it
I can’t control myself
Got no self control
It seems like the fame is wasted on the famous
& it was always gonna be a rich man’s world
I saw yr country
Mine’s bigger than yrs
I’m the kinda guy that likes the kinda girl
That’s using seasons as verbs
I paid to stand in line in LA
Cuz I’m afraid of losing my place
I try to fight it 
But I can’t deny it
I can’t control myself
Got no self control
It seems like the shame is wasted on the shameless
& it was always gonna be
I tried so hard to look so bad
I gave my money
Everything I had
To prove I was right
To prove I’m alive
To prove that I’m something that somebody likes
My Persian rug
My weight in gold
The weight of the world & the weight of a soul
Tremble in fright
Bet you’ll come out tonight
I try to fight it 
Then I try to hide it
I can’t control myself
I can’t control myself
It seems like the danger’s wasted on the dangerous
& it was always gonna be
I try to fight it 
But I can’t deny it
I can’t control myself
Got no self control
It seems like the fame is wasted on the famous
& it was always gonna be a rich man’s world
