My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team For wearin' high heel sneakers and actin' like a queen The world's comin' to an end, I don't even care As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair And it don't bother me if people think I'm funny 'Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm makin' lots of money Money, money, money, money, money, money Ahh, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm so bloody rich ha ha ha ha I own apartment buildings and shopping centers ha ha ha ha And I only know three chords ha ha ha ha
