Middleman - Blah Blah Blah lyrics

rate me

He's talking at me and he's like blah blah blah blah<br />

And I'm not listening I'm like, yeah yeah yeah yeah<br />

He's talking at me and he's like blah blah blah blah<br />

And I'm not listening I'm like, yeah yeah yeah yeah<br />

<br />

I develop my land with usurious hands<br />

Cramming tenants into prefab mini-wigwams.<br />

Doing well has never been a sin<br />

So when I wrap at your canvas I expect "come in."<br />

I live for giving homes in my tents<br />

I don't care about your milk money, give me my rent! <br />

I'm like arranged marriage, we've got an engagement.<br />

I wave from radios, and smile from every station.<br />

Can't refute the small fee for each tepee<br />

It dry-cleans my suits and my cowboy boots.<br />

We play Western games of mercenary hate, <br />

Give me paper or I'll take scissors to your face.<br />

Your breath is the labour in my factory, <br />

You're a cog in my matter-of-fact machine, <br />

Turning the next in my production line<br />

With domi-no-chance against financial decline.<br />

<br />

He's talking at me and he's like blah blah blah blah<br />

And I'm not listening I'm like, yeah yeah yeah yeah<br />

He's talking at me and he's like blah blah blah blah<br />

And I'm not listening I'm like, yeah yeah yeah yeah<br />

<br />

Building castles on sand was part of my game plan, <br />

Now the same hand is buying more wasteland.<br />

Bad mortgages say I'm to blame<br />

And the mighty will fall like only tent frames can.<br />

Small payments from the poor<br />

Ensure I can gold-plate my first-born.<br />

Rich renters get bored with office life, <br />

Lured by cheap rent and open skies.<br />

They're shackled to increasing leases by small print<br />

Next prisoner please! <br />

Money's coming in, I'm summering in Monaco<br />

While minions bring in my millions and buy new property.<br />

Some find my wigwams plain, <br />

But décor ain't my domain.<br />

I build castles on despair, <br />

Whilst I grow rich beyond compare.<br />

<br />

He's talking at me and he's like blah blah blah blah<br />

And I'm not listening I'm like, yeah yeah yeah yeah<br />

He's talking at me and he's like blah blah blah blah<br />

And I'm not listening I'm like, yeah yeah yeah yeah
