Billionaire Until Doomsday


verse 1

You're a billionaire until doomsdayand you say that you just can't stopbut how can I trust a word you saywhen you're busy climbing on top?

You ask me, what are my timelines?I ask you, for what do you live?You play God and wonder why I sit on the sidelinesI wonder if I'll ever forgive

[instrumental break]

verse 2

Don't think the poor don't rememberwhen altruism was really part of EAYou say you're saving up for the long-termI say if you believed, you'd do it today

You say it'd be better to stop itand it's not that I think that you're lyingbut all that money's flowin into your pocketand from where I sit, it sure don't look like you're trying

You say you're one of the good guysyou say that you're not to blamebut though you scurry around in your anthillyou're a moth to a flame

[instrumental break]

verse 3

So you're a billionaire until Tuesdayor next year, whatever it's worthThis creature could kill us all, you sayas you work to hasten its birth

You ask me, what are my timelines?I ask you, how do you live?You wonder why I sit on the sidelinesI wonder if I'll ever forgive
