Lyrics:

[English]

I wanna 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 fuck loads of diamonds

I heard people die while they're trying to find them

And 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 onto a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore

And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore

And when do you think it will all become clear?

'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Life's about film stars

And less about mothers

It's 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 fucking fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive consumption

And 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 onto a winner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore

And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore

And when do you think it will all become clear?

'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear

Forget about guns and forget ammunition

'Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission

Now I'm not a saint

But I'm not a sinner

And everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner

I don't know what's right and what's real anymore

And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore

And when do you think it will all become clear?

'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear
