Lyrics

America, this is where your dreams will come true,

America, seen as a place where dreams can be realized.

Act like a bitch and you’ll probably get your face on the tube.

Suggests that acting negatively may lead to fame on television.

America, when you’re gonna try something new?

Questioning when America will embrace something new.


America, this is where your dreams will come true,

Reiteration of the idea of America as a place for dreams.

Act like a slut and all the kids'll look up to you.

Suggests that engaging in promiscuous behavior brings admiration.

America, where TMZ is considered the news.

Critique of a culture where celebrity gossip (TMZ) is considered news.


We just wanna be rich, wanna drown in our money,

Expressing a desire for wealth without the need to be attractive or funny.

We don't gotta look good, we don’t have to be funny.

Emphasizes a willingness to do nothing significant for fame.

I won’t do a damn thing, put my face on this TV

Resisting the idea of putting oneself on TV for the sake of it.

And I’ll be a joke, whoa whoa

Anticipating becoming a joke if participating in the media.

We just wanna be rich, have a tub full of champagne,

Desire for opulence, including a tub of champagne and a personalized credit card.

A black credit card that's wearing my last name.

Aspiration for wealth reflected in a credit card with their last name.

I just wanna be rich, star in a porn

Expresses a desire to star in adult films.

And I’ll be outta of this show.

Anticipation of leaving the current situation once rich.


America, there’s probably a contest for you,

Suggests the existence of a contest for gaining fame.

We’ll make you famous while we’re making fun of you, too.

Highlights the paradox of making someone famous while mocking them.

America, I don’t think you’re getting the clue.

Expresses doubt about America understanding the situation.


We just wanna be rich, wanna drown in our money,

Reiteration of the desire for wealth without the need for attractiveness or humor.

We don't gotta look good, we don’t have to be funny.

Emphasizes a willingness to do nothing significant for fame.

I won’t do a damn thing, put my face on this TV

Rejection of putting one's face on TV for the sake of it.

And I’ll be a joke, whoa whoa

Anticipation of becoming a joke if participating in the media.

We just wanna be rich, have a tub full of champagne,

Desire for opulence, including a tub of champagne and a personalized credit card.

A black credit card that's wearing my last name.

Aspiration for wealth reflected in a credit card with their last name.

I just wanna be rich, star in a porn

Expresses a desire to star in adult films.

And I’ll be outta of this show.

Anticipation of leaving the current situation once rich.


Dance for the money

Encourages dancing for money.

Shake your ass for some dollar bills

Suggests shaking one's body for monetary gain.

Shake your ass for some money

Reiteration of the idea of dancing for money.

Show me the money, money, money

Explicitly demands to see money.

Whoa, whoa

An exclamation, possibly emphasizing the demand for money.

Show me the money, money, money

Reiteration of the demand to show money.


We just wanna be rich, wanna drown in our money,
