I hope you are doing fine
with your new boyfriend
Though it cannot be that difficult
when he’s a millionaire
I’m standing at my bedroom
which is four feet long
while you are there at his mansion
in a fancy chaise longe
But do not trust me
all I say has just a single aim
‘cause I’m scum and a deceiver
just like everybody else
Sure, it was not the money, honey
what took you by his side
(it) was his maleness and self-confidence
which I find out of style
All that self-reliance
I could never fake for you
is the product of the wealth he stole
from workers’ revenues
To bring justice to this world
I’m not thinking about me
let’s fight him and his kind
and their stupid self-esteem
Leave the palace, break his heart,
come to the bastille
marry a poet, you could even marry me
