I'm tired of getting ripped off Taking minnimum wage from a boss Who's got brains that are soft And I'm tired of mopping the floor, Counting my drawer I get my check and wonder "What did I work for?" I burnt out my body, I freeze-dried my brain In a polyester uniform with grease stains Now I need to find a dream or a scheme Or the courage just jump off the train CHORUS: 'Cause I've got to find a way someday To be a millionaire 'Cause I've got to find a way someday To be a millionaire How long can you live on macaroni and cheese? How long can live with the holes in the knees of your jeans? How many times do you jump start your car before you see The junkyard is closer than a drink at the bar? Once when I was a kid I had a lemonade stand I made two dollars but if felt like fifty grand I had my own place, worked at my own pace There was no heavy lifting and no sweat on my face (CHORUS) I want to be the American dream I want to learn to handshake smile while I'm back-stabbing I want a blonde in a black limousine Who's drinking Dom Perignon and using me For my money makes the world go around But you never, never hear the awful sound Of the devil sucking your soul Now your head is a wreck and your heart is a hole (CHORUS)
