Thank God I'm a V.I.P.
Far out of the ordinary
Oh how I love these red carpets Cause I'm born for TV Thank God I'm a V.I.P Taste isn't necessary Bop till you drop And friends are for free
Ladies and gentlemen Don't miss your chance to meet me
Money makes the world go around I am getting older but my girls are getting younger day by day
Thank god I'm a V.I.P
Far out of the ordinary
Oh how I love these red carpets Cause I'm born for TV Thank God I'm a V.I.P Taste isn't necessary Bop till you drop And friends are for free
I don't talk about sex and money ,honey Cause thats just me There's no business like showbusiness.. Please don't tell me what I need I've got champagne to wash my feet





Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Fury In The Slaughterhouse's song V.I.P. are a satirical look at the celebrity culture. The song's protagonist is someone who loves the limelight and considers himself above everyone else. He revels in the attention that he receives and enjoys flaunting his status as a V.I.P. The lyrics suggest that the character's love for the red carpet and being on TV is shallow and superficial, and he is only pretending to care about these things. He is more interested in the perks that come with fame, such as money, attention, and beautiful women.


The lyrics also suggest that the character is becoming more and more narcissistic as he ages, and that he is obsessed with staying young and attractive. He talks about his "girls" getting younger day by day, implying that he is in a relationship with much younger women. The song also alludes to the idea that the character is incredibly self-absorbed and doesn't care about anyone else's opinion. He talks about how he doesn't want anyone to tell him what he needs, and he has champagne to wash his feet with.


Overall, the song is a tongue-in-cheek take on the empty, shallow nature of the celebrity culture. The singer is a caricature of the worst aspects of fame, and the lyrics mock his narcissism and self-importance.
