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 IPO 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
