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 that they're scared of
Is a bullet in the chest
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
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
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
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 thing they're scared of
Is the thought of being shot
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
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
Monopoly money
You spend it like it's nothing
You die like the rest of us
