== Lyrics ==<br />
:'''Gus:'''<br />
:Fly with me,<br />
:And you'll see,<br />
:My whole world,<br />
:Of shameless ostentation.<br />
<br />
:I adore,<br />
:Having more,<br />
:Than [[Bill Gates]] since his,<br />
:Separation.<br />
<br />
:Rich enough to buy paradise.<br />
:If they make it, I can hoard it.<br />
<br />
:'''Lisa:'''<br />
:Got to say I just abhor it.<br />
:I want to change the world.<br />
<br />
:'''Gus:'''<br />
:You can't afford it.<br />
<br />
:There's no need,<br />
:For such greed.<br />
:But I love mass accumulation.<br />
<br />
:Best of all, it's tax-free,<br />
:Because I am technically a charity,<br />
:On a barge, in the North Sea.<br />
