"No Matter What I Say"

Celebrities can get away with things. Like releasing crap and still making a fortune from it. The big thing for the past few years has been celebrities writing children’s books. Not just any children’s books though – really bad children’s books. And they sell like hotcakes. A celebrity can fill an art gallery with terrible art and sell every last piece. A celebrity can have a ghost writer write an “autobiography,” then reap huge royalty checks. A celebrity can put his or her name on any cheap merchandise and call it a “signature line.” This song is about all of that.

I’ve been feeling a bit bitter lately because everywhere I turn I see stories about rich people who are making more money simply because they are rich people, and poor people love to give rich people their money. Meanwhile, I can’t earn two nickels, no matter how hard I work. So this song perfectly fits my bitching and moaning mood today.

No Matter What I Say

Ho ho he he

Wonderful me

I live my life in ecstasy

If you decide to run and hide

I'll find other company

It's easy to be free

And to write whatever I like

And they'll buy it anyway

No matter what I say

Ho ho he he

Fabulous me

I live my life victoriously

If you decide to stay by my side

I’ll enjoy your company

It's easy, can't you see

That it's nice in paradise

And I love it anyway

No matter what they say

It's easy to be free

And to write whatever I like

And they'll buy it anyway

No matter what I say

And I love you anyway

No matter what you say

And you like me anyway

No matter what I say

And they do it anyway

No matter what we say
