[Intro]
Uh, yeah, that's alright
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich
No, i'm not the one...
[Verse 1]
If you tried to explain, I wouldn't understand
Even if you twist my arm I won't know
I'm falling through five different frames of distortion
Knowing me, disturbing its flow
I'm using blind, I'm using fault
I'm using all that's within my reach
What conducts the patterns of electricity
That leave me wandering oblivion's beach
OK, wait a minute, what's the big deal?
I'm not allowed to be composed of lust
Consider the questions of a lonely man
From clashes to ashes and greed to dust
OK, fine, where's the big wall?
It surpasses me, but its the cave through time
Consider quotes from the understand what it takes
To condition your mind to be filthy rich
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich
No, i'm not the one...
[Verse 2]
I'm entering never, confusing the elements
Pondering all that needs to be done
Shame in life is performing an exorcism
To rid me of all my guns
At innocence best its simply wild
As intense as it is, it can only crawl
I see my mind, it's still descending
At least for now, I'm controlling its fall
OK, hold it, why the big smiles
It scrambles warnings and signals touch
Consider the passion for a thousand miles
When the shady strides become a bit too much
OK, stop, where's the big find?
I'm waiting for someone to tell me the deal
Consider yourself so wealthy
Without ever knowing how it feels to be filthy rich
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich
No, i'm not the one...
[Verse 3]
Finding you, fighting you, and pleasing
All that gives me mine
It's getting dark, its time to go
When facts to feathers destroy the lines
OK, cool, but what's the big reason?
Tell me the tricks to having loads of Fliz
Consider the silence of the soul
'Cause filthy rich is just what it is, Filthy rich
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich...
I don't wanna be like you, filthy rich
No, i'm not the one...
