Lyrics
I'm a real wise yuppie and I sold my soul
I've embraced a lifestyle centered around wealth and success, sacrificing moral values.
Got a porsche in one hand
I possess a luxury car and considerable wealth.
And a pot of gold
I have accumulated a significant amount of money.
Snort bulk coke
I consume cocaine in large quantities.
'Cause my hearts mighty cold
Despite appearances, I lack genuine emotions or empathy.
Look real groovy
I present an attractive image, but internally I feel aged.
But I'm feelin real old
There's a spiritual wealth or allure in someone's eyes.
There's gold in your eyes dear lord
A focus on material wealth blinds one to spiritual matters.
Can't see your flock for the dollar signs
The pursuit of wealth obscures religious or spiritual vision.
Our god he is a dollar bill
Money is the primary deity or guiding force.
A mound of them buggers is even holier still
A large accumulation of money is considered more sacred.
My life consecrated by the vogue year book
My life's value is dictated by popular fashion and trends.
My style dictated by the rick astley look
I emulate a specific fashion icon (Rick Astley) to define my style.
Drive a car but I can't read a book
Despite material possessions, I lack intellectual depth.
I don't eat meat except for a little bit of chook
I avoid consuming most meats, except for a bit of chicken.
'Cause I was born to be mild
I'm inherently inclined towards a subdued or unadventurous life.
Like the first suburban child
I'm destined for mediocrity or a mundane life.
Born to be king
I'm destined to reign over unexciting or uninteresting things.
Of the really boring things
There's a spiritual wealth or allure in someone's eyes.
There's gold in your eyes dear lord
A focus on material wealth blinds one to spiritual matters.
You can't see your flock for the dollar signs
The pursuit of wealth obscures religious or spiritual vision.
Our god he is a dollar bill
Money is the primary deity or guiding force.
A mound of them buggers is even holier still
A large accumulation of money is considered more sacred.
Nobody cares about you and me
There's a lack of concern or care for individuals in society.
Well its a corporate ripoff monopoly
The concept of god has become a profit-making enterprise.
Well I guess that god is a very big business
God has transformed into a significant commercial entity.
Honey, I know its true
The speaker acknowledges the truth about god's commercialization.
That god today is bigger than ?you?
God, in today's context, is perceived as larger than individual significance or importance.
