Song Description
It's one of our few acoustic tracks. Money is what we're all desperate for and what everyone dreams of having, but if you had all the money in the world, what would you do with it? In this song, we show what you would do with it if you were a total asshole. This one's all acoustic with violin, kind of like Damien Rice if he had a sense of humor, but more like The Barenaked Ladies.

Lyrics
They say money gives you peace of mind,
but money don't make you satisfied.
I guess it all depends on what you wanna do,
I only want enough to say F U.
and own my own jet pack,
have a blonde with a fake rack,
do more drugs than Kerouac,
and buy a sports team.
use a Van Gogh as TP,
have a personal chimpanzee,
buy everything on QVC,
and live on ice cream.
and drive around a red corvette,
buy up all the art in the Met,
have a Liger as a pet,
and sleep in all day.
break the law just to get off,
hang around with Hasselhoff,
get the birthmark off Gorbachev,
and eat all buffets.
This is the way we ride,
we can tell the world to kiss our butts.
This is the way we roll,
when we can tell the haters what to suck.
They say money gives you peace of mind,
but money don't make you satisfied.
I guess it all depends on what you wanna do,
I only want enough to say F U.
When I am king on my island made of cheese,
I'll buy all respect and make everyone say pretty please,
I'll trademark comedy and sell jokes for a penny,
I'll be the banker of loyalty,
Copyright happiness and when you smile,
You'll have to pay a royalty to me.
They say money gives you peace of mind, (I want more)
but money don't make you satisfied. (I want more)
I guess it all depends on what you wanna do,
I only want enough to say F U.
