lyrics

You have everything and you think it makes you better than me
But everybody wants to scream when you talk about your money
Yeah people don't care about your vacation house
Or your Mercedes or your golf course or your yacht or anything else

Now I admit I take life for granted
But everybody knows that we all do
But true troubles, you don't understand them
You take your luxuries for granted too

Yeah if you lost everything you owned you'd understand why people groan when complaints about little things are the only things you say
Now I'm trying to give you respect but in a first world life you lose perspective
You get whatever you want and then you throw it away

Yeah your biggest fear is your cable going down
Or maybe having so much money that your kids will drown
Yeah you hate having to decide on what next you should spend
While everyone else is struggling to pay their rent

Now I'm not much of a dreamer
But if I start rolling in cash
You'll be the one I remember
And I'll try not to be such an ass

You get what you want and you throw it away
That's no way to live
