I dated the son of a billionaire for a year and 8 months. I constantly felt a mix of delight and disgust over the luxury I was experiencing. This song is about trying to liberate myself from the confines of the relationship, while also making use of a wonderful double entendre.
lyrics
Oh oh oh, I am always screaming in your room
we know it echos in the house
but we do not give a shit
because your parents are pretty chill about it
and we are seventeen and everything's a dream
and when it's just you and me I feel like everything is perfect
but when I'm eating dinner with your parents and they are going on and on
about the Dom Perignon
Well, I don't know if I can do this because...
Fuck the Bourgeoisie
Marx is my new daddy
Fuck the Bourgeoisie
I mean, I did, I did, I did, I did....
The worst I've ever felt about myself
was when I was on your private jet and everything was white
and my Bernie Sanders T-shirt didn't cancel out
that I was sitting there in the air
as people died everywhere else
and I did not look down
and that's when I thought to myself:
I don't know if I can do this because...
Fuck the Bourgeoisie
Marx is my new daddy
Fuck the Bourgeoisie
I mean, I did, I did, I did, I did....
And we get down to Lana Del Rey
and she's singing 'bout money while you are going down on me
and I know everybody always tells me I'm so lucky
but this whole thing feels like highway robbery
you give me the scraps from your silver plate
we're the Elizabeth and Darcy of the modern age
but I can't do this because....
Fuck the Bourgeoisie
Marx is my new daddy
Fuck the Bourgeoisie
I mean, I did, I did, I did, I did....
Fuck the Bourgeoisie
Marx is my new daddy
Fuck the Bourgeoisie
I mean, I did, I did, I did, I did....
