So romantic to say that money don't matter
When you're young and you're fat and as mad as a hatter
Your parents put food at the foot of your table and you scoff it all down
Without reading the label
But it does make a difference, a massive one too
In fact lack of funds could be killing you too
Have you paid for your rent
Have you paid for your phone
Have you paid for your booze?
Have you paid back your loan?
Have you paid back your mate who lent you that oner?
Are you standing there frozen or still on a runner?
I don't think I can hear myself
My Dad used to buy premium now it's Tesco's own brand
If he gets much lower he'll be robbing the binman
Have you paid for the water? Have you sorted the electric?
Have you called your sponsor all apologetic?
I just want some headspace, I just need some freedom
I don't mean to moan, I just love to see some
Lack of happiness should be linked to lack of jewels inside your big pink
I don't think I can hear myself
Shouting out forsaking time well spent
So to everyone who says money isn't important
Just look at the world and realise it's assortment
I'm not saying that people with money are bad
I just wish it was a choice we all had
I don't want much just enough to get by
I don't want a plane with my name in the sky
I don't want the stress and I don't want the worry
I don't want a mansion in the middle of Surrey
I just want enough to pay Mum's mortgage
Look after my friends, and prop up any shortage
I don't think I can hear myself
Shouting out forsaking time well spent
I don't think I can hear myself
Shouting out forsaking time well spent
Now I know I've gone on
But the truth of the day
Is money can make some problems go away
So when I make it big and Mum's mortgage is spent
Don't think for a second, I won't be charging her rent
