lyrics

Money won, money won
The battle of our life

Working hard, working hard
Joker in disguise

Deck of cards, never been touched
No drinking gambling here

Find my words, hide my words
Denial of my fear

Hold her close, hold her close
Her wants will be your need

I don't need you anymore
That's one less mouth to feed

Standing here, standing there
In a pile of all my greed

All of this small talk
Makes the conversation deed

We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got

We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got

Hills, rivers, valleys
Will never keep me free

Trees, heather, mountains
Mean nothing to me

Summer, autumn, winter
Always leads to shopping sprees

Guilt amongst the landscape
I'm sure you would agree

Wait until the finance
Comes flying home from sea

I'll go and meet them shortly
When you’re driving on the tee

Reason one to live my life
Shame that it's not you

Your old, I'm young
Your empires done,
It's time to start a coup

We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got

We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got

Oil ideas are hard to lose
Whilst play and lies and understood
Respect is gone, i am done
No need for fatherhood

Oil ideas are hard to lose
Whilst play and lies and understood
Respect is gone, i am done
No need for fatherhood

We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got

We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got
