(I Don't Want to Be A) Billionaire - Theo Katzman

I don’t wanna be a billionaire

I just want a comfy place to live

With friends and neighbors always around

They never call me, just walk on in

The doors and windows ain’t ever locked

Because I don’t have any shit to steal

Just a couple comfy chairs to sit

And a pot to cook a family meal

So close your eyes and cover up your ears

This ain’t the message that you came to hear, but

I can’t help it if I just don’t care

I don’t want to be a billionaire

I’m tired of hearin' about the I.P.O

All of the ways that all the cash could flow

It would be nice if it would trickle down

To the people on the other side of town

But something tells me that it probably won’t

'Cause something tells me that it just ain’t right

Taking donations for the one percent

Out of the pockets of the 99

So close your eyes and cover up your ears

This ain’t the message that you came to hear, but

I can’t help it if I just don’t care

I don’t want to be a billionaire

No, I don’t

No-oh-oh, I don’t

I don’t wanna be a billionaire

I don’t want to sacrifice my life, tryin' to

Shave five seconds off a checkout line

Think of something that the whole world needs

Faster fast food delivery

I don’t want to be forced to guess

What to do with all of my excess

Take vacations into outer space

Or pay all school teachers a living wage

I know nothing’s gonna come from this

Except for make a couple people pissed

It ain’t effective, far as I can tell

Telling the Devil he should go to hell

And I don’t even know who’s to blame

Or who’s been marching in the hit parade

But I don’t really wanna sing along

If a computer wrote the fuckin' song

So close your eyes and cover up your ears

This ain’t the message that you came to hear, but

I can’t help it if I just don’t care

I don’t want to be a billionaire

No, I don’t

No-oh-oh, I don’t

I don’t wanna be a billionaire
