Lyrics[]
Now on the one hand, it's hard to feel sorry for the very rich You could record an album of Mountain Goats covers and torpedo your career overnight You chose this life But on the other hand, even a rich guy needs some space And should be able to get to his car without people all up in his face And gettin' on his case You don't have to leave Justin alone You don't have to leave Justin alone But don't be an asshole Are there bigger problems in the world, yes Abortion's legal, but not everybody has access Try not to be an asshole Try not to be an asshole
