CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION

What was the number you got on your bid?
One for the mother and two for the kid?
You should be flattered she even did
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all

Open the registers, empty the tills
He wants the money in unmarked bills
And if he doesn't there's someone who will
Cry for the cash cow before the milk starts to spill

He doesn't think he's been given a lucky break
He'll fill his pockets with as much as he can take
And then he realized that he was over
Then he realized that he was gone

My hands are soft because I did well on tests
Fill in the bubbles, show up for the rest
He never thinks he'd be second-guessed
It shouldn't matter, it shouldn't matter at all

On the floor of the ocean
It was the best thing he ever had
On the way to the floor of the ocean
If was the best thing he ever had
He'll do it again
