|
I take too long |
|
To answer telephones |
|
I take too long to type my name |
|
And record messages |
|
But my handwriting is excellent |
|
In fact it's second to none, none |
|
I just got in |
|
From somewhere really good |
|
They offered me the part of Bono |
|
And a speaking role |
|
With all the merchandise |
|
And sunglasses |
|
I could ever need, need |
|
I drive round cities in a chariot |
|
I get preferential treatment |
|
At the Marriott but if the truth be told |
|
I'm naked under all those clothes |
|
I tell you what is on my mind |
|
I only want to be |
|
In your record collection |
|
I only want to be |
|
In your record collection |
|
And I'll do anything it takes |
|
Just to get there |
|
My brain is buzzing |
|
And the room is strange |
|
Like the scene in trading places |
|
At the stock exchange |
|
I made a million overnight in '87 |
|
Now I'm living in my |
|
Parking space, parking space |
|
My teeth are bright |
|
And my hair is clean |
|
I wear Paco Rabanne |
|
Like I was Charlie Sheen |
|
But in the rain we all look wet |
|
And in the snow we all look cold |
|
CHORUS |
|
Disgusted by all the flashness |
|
I think I'm a don |
|
They think I'm an actor |
|
But I catch this |
|
My two needs |
|
Are pillow and a mattress |
|
Once I can fill up the space |
|
With a famous actress |
|
Give me a mil, I'll do a DJ set |
|
I pull spikey with the green |
|
Like a cactus |
|
Show off, ego's high |
|
You can't match this |
|
Chauvinistic Pig |
|
Money Man tactics |
|
I'm not as clever |
|
As I thought I was |
|
It got pointed out to me |
|
As I was tying the knot |
|
And all I want to know is |
|
How I got so far down, down |
|
I'm not as lucky |
|
As I thought I was |
|
My luck ran out the other day |
|
As I was crossing the road |
|
Who would have thought |
|
A truck like that |
|
Could have caused so much... |
|
CHORUS |
