Sample Lyrics
- (Verse)
- I want to 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 f***loads of diamonds
- I heard people die while they are trying to find them
- I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
- ‘Cuz 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 meant to feel anymore
- When we think it will all become clear
- ‘Cause I’m being taken over by fear
