[Verse 1]
I want be rich and I want lots of money
I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny
I want loads of clothes and I want loads of diamonds
I heard people die while they're trying to find them
I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
'Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, I'm on to a winner
[Chorus]
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by thе fear
[Verse 2]
Life's all about film stars and less about mothеrs
All about fast cars and cussing each other
But it doesn't matter 'cause I'm packing plastic
And that's what makes my life so fantastic
And I am a weapon of massive consumption
But it's not my fault, it's how I'm programmed to function
I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror
I'm on the right track, yeah, we're on to a winner
[Chorus]
But I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
[Bridge]
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
'Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission
Now I'm not a saint, and I'm not a sinner
But everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner
[Chorus]
I don't know what's right and what's real anymore
I don't know how I'm supposed to feel anymore
And when do you think it will all become clear?
'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
Oh, oh
