The life I've always wanted I guess I'll never have

I'll be working for somebody else Until I'm in my grave

        F                              G            F            Am

To have a big expensive car Drag my furs on the ground

Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed

Those who deserve the best in life And know what money's worth

And those whose sole misfortune Was having mountains o' nothing at birth 
[Hook]
        C       G                                       Am

  C             G                                   Am

Consume more than you need This is the dream

Make you pauper Or make you queen

I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged

  C             G                                   Am

Exploiting other human beings

Mostly I feel lonely 

G                    F                 Am
Good good people are   Good people are only My stepping stones 

G                      F                      Am
It's gonna take all my mountains o' things To surround me 

G           F            G                   F                   Am 
Keep all my enemies away Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
