lyrics

I can walk on cobbled streets in my bullshit paradise
I can shop in kitsch boutiques in my bullshit paradise
High heels, fake tan and poker dots
Briefcases, pinstripe suits
I got everything that I don’t need
In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise

In a place not far from here
Something’s going wrong
Because someone’s been left alone
And we have no time to care
We’re just trying to make a living
They got us working to the bone

But I can drink on cobbled streets in my bullshit paradise
Blow the lot in kitsch boutiques in my bullshit paradise
Champagne, Ray-Ban, I’m looking hot
Flash cars, Rolex and bling
I got everything that I don’t need oh no

I can dance on cobbled streets in my bullshit paradise
I can own a kitsch boutique in my bullshit paradise
Designer handbags, party yachts
Cufflinks, hair gel, cravat
I got everything that I don’t need
In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise

I want the latest mobile phone
And the biggest television
Got to keep up with the Joneses
But what’s the value in all these things?
Are we just looking for approval?
I think we substitute for love

I can live on cobbled streets in my bullshit paradise
Sleep outside a kitsch boutique in my bullshit paradise
Langoustine limousines, I bought...
Ed Hardy caviar
I got everything that I don’t need
In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise

In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise
In my bullshit paradise
I got everything that I don’t need
In my bullshit paradise, in my bullshit paradise
