歌詞
[Verse 1]
When I was a kid, we didn't murder CEOs
They just gave us each a penny, and we did what we were told
They don't care how many people they watch work themselves to death
The only thing they're scared of is a bullet in the chest
[Chorus]
Monopoly money, they spend it like it's nothing
A mansion, an airplane, a couple politicians
Monopoly money, I kinda think it's funny
You buy your way to heaven, but you die like the rest of us
[Verse 2]
When I was a kid, they told me I could buy a home
I could get myself a family, a career and then grow old
They don't care how many people they step on to get ahead
The only thing they're scared of is a bullet in the head
[Chorus]
Monopoly money, they spend it like it's nothing
A mansion, an airplane, a couple politicians
Monopoly money, I kinda think it's funny
You buy your way to heaven, but you die like the rest of us
Ah, you die like the rest of us
[Verse 3]
When I was a kid, they taught me how to shoot a gun
Told me I would be a soldier if they ever needed one
They don't care how many people they send home inside a box
The only thing they're scared of is the thought of being shot
[Chorus]
Monopoly money, they spend it like it's nothing
A sports team, a new car, a couple politicians
Monopoly money, I kinda think it's funny
You buy your way to heaven, but you die like the rest of us
[Bridge]
Ah, you die like the rest of us
Ah, you die like the rest of us
Ah, you die like the rest of us
Ah, you die like the rest of us
It's hard to die with such a guilty heart
And leave this world much better off
When you live like a parasite
Nobody misses you when you die
[Outro]
Monopoly money, you spend it like it's nothing
You die like the rest of us
