Millionaire

I have no dreams of being a millionaire
I have taken many steps to get here
Looking out across at your vast empire
Then I make my own way down to help others climb up higher

I can switch my mind off but I'm not blind
Hoarding an excessive bank balance is a crime
You want more money for some of your time
Don't tell me I'm ok and everything's fine

Money they say makes the world go round
Smuggled blood diamonds dug up from the ground
Movie star's smothered but doesn't make a sound
Hired from a man who's now gagged and bound

A contract killer in a well oiled machine
He owns the jewels and his hands ain't clean
Blood strained eyes that look so mean
Tailored black suit that used to be white and clean

Sports cars with lots of horsepower
Going round in circles around his ivory tower
The government said the speed limit is 70 miles per hour
He's payed them off so he can go 80 while we still grind down flour

His daddy left him the lot in a will
18yrs old with a gun and bullets he don't feel
With an itchy trigger finger he can't stand still
At night he goes out looking to kill
