Making dollars out of human skin
Printing faces on the fibers and the filament
My lifestyle resplendent, and it's all tax-deductible
Thank you, Mr. President
Making dollars out of human skin
Thank god for my sense of entitlement
I feel sorry for you losers, I was born to win
A fortune made from pressed and dyed human skin
Your entrails are exposed, so strike a pose
While I buy designer clothes and turn up my nose
I'm not opposed to the idea of you being alive
I just like extra digits on my account balance, you understand
I know you'd do the same if you thought of it first
But aw shucks, looks like I did, and hey, it could be worse
At least I got something out of the deal, right?
Making dollars out of human skin
But oh, on what to spend?
My lifestyle resplendent, and it's all tax-deductible
Thank you, Mr. President
Making dollars out of human skin
Be you dejected liberal or remorseless republican, I don't care
I feel sorry for you losers, I was born to win
A fortune made from pressed and dyed human skin
