lyrics
I do this for the money and the download sales
I'm in this for the profit and I'm going off the rails
With the alpha males
I do it for the children and the charities
I got a fella I pay to buy my drugs for me
He keeps me clean, yeah
I've got a plan to retire when I'm 25
With a bank full of money and a famous wife
Yeah, a fucked up wife
Yeah, a fucked up life
Oh life
Oh, life is good when you're on the up
Life is good when you're on the up
Life is good when you're on the up
Life is good when you're on the up
I listen to the Beatles, listen to the Stones
I listen to the Coldplay on my headphones
Leave me alone
I do it for the money and the download sales
I'm in it for the profit and I'm going off the rails
With the alpha males
