Ride around in your expensive cars / With your expensive champagne colored scarves / Pay someone to walk all of your dogs / And sit around and drink with the stars / This is your dream / That you dream / When you’re working / In a store on Fifth Avenue / With the three thousand dollar shoes / Hi I’m Nancy I’m here to help you out / I’ll show you what Saks is all about / I wake up at 5am to give my lips this pout / With the cherry red lipstick made of trout / One day / I’ll own / Some lipstick / Of my own / In my diamond purse / They’ll clack against both of my Iphones / Hippies on the street after the day is done / Splattering fur coats with paint for fun / Suits are running away from a swarm of bums / Cooking up hot dogs without buns / And money is a thing that you’d like to think means nothing / Well just wait / The kids / Are crying / For Harvard University / The world doesn’t work like some sort of tribal society / So go live in the woods / Or live in the big city / Where nothing is free
