The Ballad of Hardcore Monopoly Man

from Careers Day by The Sunlight Machine

/

about

Inspired by a partially true story, and the wrongful interpretation of the satirical character Kanye West.

lyrics

I drive around in a gold BMW
It's not a rolls cos I don't have the revenue
Who needs friends when money doesn't look at you funny
Oh baby
I'm as cold as ice

I like, I like
Money and Moët

Because, because
I'm so fancy...

I watch as life passes me by through the windows of an old silver jaguar
I wish it was a golden BMW but it is not
I wish it was a golden rolls Royce but it is not
I just don't have the money to drive that kind of car round, you know what I'm saying?
I drink champagne, expensive champagne
I consume expensive goods
I must be the top consumer
I live life like I'm on the inside of a magazine
Like I’m trapped inside an advert for vodka
It's cold inside the advert and I wish that I could feel something,
Feel anything
But I can’t
And I’m lost.
I meet a cute girl at work
She tells me that she’s single
But on the inside I see her slip a ring off her finger and into her back pocket
She comes closer now and whispers that
‘It’s just one night…’
And god I wish I could believe that it was just one night
And not a whole lifetime or entire love life ruined because of my
Selfish desire
And besides…
I don’t even like her that much anyway…

I JUST REALLY LIKE MONEY

I drive around in a gold BMW
It's not a rolls cos I don't have the revenue
Who needs friends when money doesn't look at you funny
Oh baby
I'm as cold as ice

I like, I like
Money and Moët

Because, because
I'm so fancy

I like, I like
Money and Moët

They said, they said,
Stop taking pictures it’s not funny

I like money
(And Moet)
I like money
(And Moet)
I like money
(And Moet)
I like money
(And Moet)

I like money and Moet
I like money and Moet
I like money and Moet
And fucking other people’s wives is not funny.
