lyrics

CHORUS:
oh, the rich stay rich & the poor stay poor
what the hell is it all even for?
I tell you, brother, it isn't fair
that anybody gets to be a billionaire

just relaxes, pays no taxes
flies a private jet into the sun
he's so classless; never ask him
where his family's fortune comes from

buys a website to get his head right
overpays, but it's all for the clout
& he's alright with the alt-right
he's exactly what the alt-right's about

(repeat chorus)

ain't it funny to borrow money
& say you made it all yourself?
he's so evil, putting people
through a special kind of hell

leaves this place & flies to space &
honestly, he won't be missed
though it's not fair that he's out there
let's pretend he doesn't exist

(repeat chorus)

society was made so we
can lead much better lives
but now there's assholes in their castles
with their servants & their wives

if capital is critical
shouldn't we all be so blessed?
the selfish men are no better than
the masses they suppress

(repeat chorus)

oh, the rich get bored & the poor get sad
the rich throw away what the poor never had
I tell you, brother, it isn't fair
that anybody gets to be a billionaire
