Tastes Good With The Money
Fat White Family Lyrics

Ornamental kindness heats both of my hands
The superficial friendliness shown to me warms me up (even though it's not genuine)

Ooo, it tastes good with the money
I enjoy the luxuries that come with wealth

Tried to figure my way home via the Hollywood Hills
I got lost trying to navigate my way home in a wealthy neighborhood

And all my faith slides right into place
My belief in the superiority of wealth is reinforced by my experiences

The air up there′s so fresh and clean
The atmosphere in wealthy areas seems cleaner and more pleasant

And we could be homeowners this time next year
I'm hopeful that my financial situation will improve dramatically soon

I'll never look at a tower block the same way again
My perception of lower-income residential buildings has been altered by my new surroundings

And one more faith bursting into flames
Another belief system is abandoned in favor of the worship of money

The air up there, now fresh and clean
The lifestyle associated with wealth seems to be cleaner and healthier

People from nowhere, they poison everywhere
Working-class people are seen as polluting and ruining the environment

Sketching ruins in the dark
The image of lower-class neighborhoods as post-apocalyptic wastelands is reinforced

There′s ash in your latte
Even seemingly clean environments are ruined by the taint of pollution

As you slip into something dangerous
The excess and hedonism associated with wealth can lead to risky behavior

Dipping into a tear shaped swimming pool
Indulging in luxury and excess brings temporary relief from pain and sadness

The lobster red blood of the apocalypse
The decadence and revelry of the wealthy is reminiscent of an end-of-the-world scenario

Eyebrows trimmed
Even physical appearance is tied to class status and wealth

Gotta fathom your own legacy
Take the time to think about what you want to be remembered for when you're gone.

Slimming shakes
Even the pursuit of physical fitness is subject to consumer capitalism and commercialization

Bathing on the right side of surprises
Taking advantage of unexpected opportunities to enhance one's financial situation

And a big mushroom cloud
The disastrous effects of capitalism are depicted as an atomic explosion

For the middle classes
Even the wealthy are subject to the destructive effects of consumerism and capitalism

Leaves a beautiful shape
The aftermath of destruction can be seen as aesthetically pleasing

For you to project your fears onto
Fear and anxiety about the future can be displaced onto the external world

And all my faith, it slides right into place
Belief in the transformative power of wealth is cemented by these experiences

The air up here so fresh and clean
The life of luxury is associated with purity and cleanliness

People from nowhere make poison everywhere
The poor and working-class are depicted as harmful to society

Sketching ruins in the dark
This repeated line underscores the central theme of urban decay and class conflict
