Lyrics
Only my confidence remains
That and my constant amusement as I sit back in wonder
You told me everything would change
I have to laugh ‘cuz it’s the same thing you said when I met you
I’ll write you a happy refrain
You said ‘give ‘em what they want; no one wants to buy opinion’
So what if it all sounds the same?
Would you consider it at least in exchange for the millions?
I get you the Formula
Make ya rich and famous
Well here is my heart
and it’s all for you
Please take it, don’t break it
it’s precious - I made it
It will turn gold
because it’s for you
Grow bigger
Shine brighter
Jump on it insiders
I’ll take your kindhearted advice
(I’ll take your money and your position too but all that aside)
Just look out for the big surprise
when everyone around here suddenly starts to realize...
I used the formula
to get right inside ya
And when we’re gold
know it’s cuz of you
Grow bigger
Shine brighter
Come on in, outsider
And when I’m gold
I’ll be all for you
You need it
we’ll feed it
You want it
we’re on it
You shake it
we’ll make it
All happy
So crazy
