Conspicuous Consumption

Conspicuous Consumption Look at all I have I've got money burning In this power grab Between the haves and have nots I'm one of the haves Enjoying this life of luxury Sitting in its lap Conspicuous Consumption Take a breath and breath in deep Take as many as you want Although this stuff ain't cheap Money is no object It means nothing to me Now that you ask, yes Virginia Money does grow on trees Conspicuous Consumption In this world of give and take If it's no longer suitable It becomes throw away Even if you tire of it No need for it to break Conspicuous Consumption The phrase of the day
