Wouldn't Want to Be Like You

[Verse 1]

Money is the Bentley parked on Wall Street

Money is the new friends you make each week

Money is the inside guy at the bank

Money is the yacht right before it sank

Bet you never thought you'd want so much

Bet you never thought it'd be so tough

So you sell your soul for a piece of the pie

Now you can't sleep so you don't even try

[Chorus]

I wouldn't want to be like you

I wouldn't want to be like you

No way

I wouldn't want to be like you

You tell a lie, you tell a lie, you tell a lie

But that don't make it true

[Verse 2]

Money is the monkey giving you a back ache

Money is the grease in the palm of a handshake

Money covers up all the evidence

Not taking all the money would have made the best sense

Bet you never thought you'd bleed that much

Bet you never thought it'd be so rough

You thought you could beat them at their game

But they wrote the rules, now you take the blame

[Chorus]

I wouldn't want to be like you

I wouldn't want to be like you

No way

I wouldn't want to be like you

You tell a lie, you tell a lie, you tell a lie

But that don't make it true

[Bridge]

All the players on the sidelines

Feigning shock and innocence

Hear no, see no, speak no evil

Take the fall for all of the place

[Verse 3]

Money is the orange jumpsuit you're wearing

Money is the gray roots in your blonde hair and

Money is the ex-wife and the ex-girlfriends

Money you hid is the money they're spending

Here's to the brand new diamond bracelet

Here's to the too tight ankle bracelet

Here's to the days before you went down

'Cause what goes around comes around and around

[Chorus]

I wouldn't want to be like you

I wouldn't want to be like you

No way

Oh, I wouldn't want to be like you

You tell a lie, you tell a lie, you tell a lie

But that don't make it true

[Outro]

I wouldn't want to be like you

No way

Oh, I wouldn't want to be like you

You tell a lie, you tell a lie, you tell a lie

But that don't make it true

No, that don't make it true

No, that don't make it true
