Lyrics:
This morning
I saw a wad of cash
Fall out the pocket of someone's pants
Picked it up and I made it mine
Bought a pretty gown

In the afternoon I stole a car
Found it in the middle of a parking lot
Took the valet key from the glove box
Drove it into town

Well if I go to jail or if I die
I'll leave here feeling gratified
'Cause life is short and cash is king
So why can't I have everything
Oh why can't I have everything?

For breakfast
I ate bread and cheese
With pink marshmallows in my tea
A big old mess of calories
Stirring in my soul

Well I got home then I got high on all the drugs that I could find
Fell asleep before the night
Could swallow me up whole

Well if I go to jail or if I die
I'll leave here feeling gratified
'Cause life is short and cash is king
So why can't I have everything
Oh why can't I have everything?

And in the morning light
You were not there
There was someone else who did not have
The color of your hair
