lyrics

Look ma I finally made it
I made myself a scene
Look ma I finally made it
All brushed and squeaky clean
Look ma I finally made it
I got to live my dream
Look ma I finally made it
But I don’t know what that means

And the men crowd round
With their dollars and pounds
And they treat me like the best new toy they’ve found
First they put me on a pedestal
Then grind me to the ground

And when I’m down, I understand
Look ma I’m making money for the man

Look ma I finally made it
I’m crowned the latest queen
Look ma I finally made it
In top shelf magazines
Look ma I finally made it
And it all seems so obscene
Look ma I finally made it
Unclean, unclean, unclean

I sold my soul for the crock of shit
At the rainbow’s end or somewhere over it
I sold my arse for a few cheap bucks
I sold my flesh to suck and fuck

And the men crowd round
With their dollars and pounds
And they treat you like the best new bitch in town
First they put you on a pedestal
Then grind you to the ground

And when you’re down
You understand
Your only making money for the man
Your only making money for the man
Look ma I’m making money for the man
