This week’s song: C.E.O. & When I’m Rich by The Happy Children

LYRICS

N-n-no not today
N-n-no go away
F-f-far down the river’s where I want you to stay

Where’s my money?
I had so much money
I had so much more to say as a C.E.O
It’s not over
But I’m getting older
And I just don’t want to be a part of the scene anymore

N-n-no not today
N-n-no go away
F-f-far down the river’s where I want you to stay

Where’s my money?
I had so much money
I had so much more to say as a C.E.O
It’s not over
But I’m getting older
And I just don’t want to be a part of the scene anymore

I went down the first rabbit hole I called home
How could I know that it’d be hard to stay afloat?
You know I couldn’t read your mind, babe
Nothing is enough to quench these thirsty little guys

I forgot the sole purpose of our movement
How could I know that it’d go far, be popular?
But they never really knew, babe
Nothing was enough to make me professional, boy

N-n-no not today
N-n-no go away
F-f-far down the river’s where I want you to stay

Where’s my money?
I had so much money
I had so much more to say as a C.E.O
It’s not over
But I’m getting older
And I just don’t want to be a part of the scene anymore

LYRICS

W-w-waving from the past with your pom-poms down
It’s cold and I want more, and then
Show up on a freight train, up my little hill of freedom
‘Cause yes, it’s come to this
I got all the lovin’ in the world that I could need, need
‘Cause I know that it comes from within, woah

Know that it is safe up here with me
I didn’t think so either, but now I do
Take my hand and be afraid of nothing more baby

Turn the corner innocent, quiet over there
So it makes me want to give you a little piece of what I got
But I see that is not what you need
So I’m forced to reconcile with the way that I have been to people
I got a lot of talk, lot of talk, I got a lot, a lot of
You want to know the truth
I’ve got better truths, see
I’ve got all the loving in the world that I could need, need
‘Cause I know that it’s a front
And it’s mostly entertainment

Know that it is safe up here with me
I didn’t think so either, but now I do
Take my hand and be afraid of nothing more baby

I will buy my friends whatever they want when I am rich
I’ll try to stay humble through the whole process of becoming a little fucking wise
It’ll be nice, ’cause it already is nice
Being an ice-cold god (Oh-oh)

You are nice
I like you
But I think
That you’re wrong
You are nice, uh
I like you, uh
But I think
That you’re wrong
You are nice, I like you
But I think that you’re wrong
Better say goodbyes in the [?]
You are nice, I like you
But I think that you’re wrong
Kno-kno-know it’s
Mo-mo-mo-mostly entertainment

Know that it is safe up here with me
I didn’t think so either, but now I do
Take my hand and be afraid of nothing more
Be afraid of nothing more
Be afraid of nothing more, baby

Take my hand and be afraid of nothing more baby
