Sometimes I find another world Inside my mind When I realize The crazy things we do It makes me feel ashamed to be alive It makes me want to run away and hide [Chorus] It's all 'bout the money It's all 'bout the dumb dum, And I don't think It's funny To see us fade away It's all 'bout the money It's all 'bout the dumb dum, And I think we got it all wrong anyway We find strange ways of showing Them how much we really care When in fact We just don't seem to care at all This pretty world Is getting out of hand So tell me how we fail to understand? [Chorus: x3]
