Honey
Mousse T. vs. The Dandy Warhols Lyrics

All right
The following information will be positive

Here it comes
Get ready for some wisdom

Well I can tell you for the money
Based on my experience, having financial security is important

The simple life honey is good
Living a modest lifestyle can be fulfilling and enjoyable

Uh-huh
I agree.

Well if you ask me how you made it
If you're wondering how to achieve financial stability,

Secure life, baby, you should
you should focus on creating a secure life for yourself

Oh, yes you should
This is important advice

Cause if you're doing all the best that you can
Even if you're doing everything right

But you're still runnin' just as fast as the man says
If you're still struggling to keep up with societal expectations

Yes it's good
Living simply is still a good idea

Now when you're movin' to the city
If you're moving to an urban area

You worry on your mental health
You may experience mental health challenges

Yes you do, now
This is a valid concern

Oh, you gentlemen and ladies
This advice is for everyone

You've got to be good to yourself
Take care of your own needs

Mm-hmm
I understand.

So get yourself into a ranch-style home
Consider living in an affordable home

When the neighbor's never more than a stone's throw
Where you can live closely with friendly neighbors

That's right, now
This is valid advice

But oh, no
Unfortunately

All the money
Despite having wealth

Still you just can't please everybody
It is impossible to make everyone happy

How bad do
How much

Do you want it?
Do you desire wealth that much?

Cause the money
As a reminder, despite the potential drawbacks

It looks so good, good, good
Wealth can still be tempting

So now you're chasin' the American dream
If you're pursuing the traditional American dream

Just like the dollar's gonna make everybody scream
Despite the high price we pay for it

The simple life sure looks good
Modesty still looks like a better option

Oh yeah
This is still true

Now there's a whole lot of faking
In some circles, there is a lot of pretending

And takin'
Taking what they can get

And shakin' my hand
They will often shake your hand

And when they tell you they love ya
When people tell you they love you

They love ya like a one night stand
It's not always genuine love

Mm-hmm
It happens.

So if you're playin' in a rock and roll band
If you're in an industry like the rock and roll industry

But still you're doing whatever the man says
If you're still following someone else's rules

Take care
Be well.
