Lyrics

I wan na be rich and I want lots of mon (Bb)ey, I don’t care a bout clev (Bbm)er, I don’t care a bout fun (F)ny.

I want loads of clothes and shed loads of dia monds, I heard peo ple die while they’re try ing to find them.

And I’ll take my clothes off and it will be shame less, ’cause ev ’ry one knows it’s how you get fam ous.

I’ll look at the Sun and I’ll look in the Mir (Bb)ror.

I’m on the right track, yeah, (CN.C.)I’m on to a win (F)ner.

And I don’t know what’s right and what’s real an y more.

And I don’t know how I’m meant to feel

an y more.

When do you think it will all be come clear?

’Cause I’m be ing ta ken o ver by the fear.
