Affluenza
Conan Gray Lyrics

Mama's got a new man
Conan Gray sets the scene with his old mom who's found a new lover in her life.

And daddy's got a new mansion to keep
His dad is also starting afresh with a new home.

He never really calls back
Conan's dad doesn't care to return his phone calls.

'Cause he's got too many finances to reap
His father is too busy making money, that he doesn't have time for family.

Money, money
Conan Gray highlights the importance of money in today's world.

Ain't it funny, honey
He acknowledges the irony of his obsession with money.

When you get what you need
Having enough money helps you live a comfortable life.

Baby, life is a breeze
With enough money, life is easy and filled with joy.

Give me money, money
Conan expresses his desire for wealth.

'Til I'm bloody, bloody
He wants to become so rich that it hurts.

All these kids have got affluenza
He criticizes the wealthy kids for their shallow and selfish behavior.

Going wrecking their daddy's Benza
These kids damage and misuse their parent's expensive cars.

Crystal liquor cups and designer drugs, oh oh
They drink expensive alcohol and consume drugs, only to boast about it.

They say money can't buy you no love
Conan agrees that money can't bring happiness and love into your life.

But a diamond cheers you right up
Despite his previous statement, he admits that diamonds and other expensive things can provide temporary happiness.

Give me none of your affluenza, affluenza, affluenza
Conan asserts that he doesn't want any part in this toxic and materialistic lifestyle.

Every day's your birthday
He pokes fun at the rich kids who always seem to get what they want.

You threw a party but you kinda
They throw lavish parties, but only to cover up their own loneliness.

Hate all your friends
These rich kids dislike everyone who doesn't share their lifestyle.

So you're crying in a drive-way
Despite their wealth, these kids are still unhappy and resort to crying.

Killing time, getting high
They indulge in drugs and other substances to pass their time.

Can't wait 'til it ends
They hate their life and can't wait for this cycle to be over.

Fat stacks, cold cash
Conan Gray describes the wealth of these rich kids.

You've always had it real lavish, first-class
They've never experienced a lack of anything and have only had the best.

Trust fund, gold tongue
These rich kids have inherited wealth and know how to manipulate situations to keep their comfortable lifestyle.

Eighty grand in both your hands, but no love
Despite the wealth, they still feel unfulfilled and lack love in their life.
