Bourgeoisie is Lovely
I’m a bitch
That’s for the petty bourgeoisie drinking champagne
That’s for all the French quotas that I no longer speak English1
I’m not crazy, I’m just fond of you
And all the piles of money that grows next to you
That’s for the petty bourgeoisie lounging in Hawaii
Who routinely gets a glass of champagne
I’m not crazy, I’m just fond of you
And all the piles of money that grows next to you
Just recordin’ that track for all the bitches out there
Shakin’ their ass like they just don’t care
Like they just don’t care
You’ve spent your life taking your time
Lots of money that you hide in your gloves
You’ve blown all your money, now you spend your parents' fund
To get into parties for singles under 30
That’s for the petty bourgeoisie drinking champagne
That’s for all the French quotas that I no longer speak English
I’m not crazy, I’m just fond of you
And all the piles of money that grows next to you
That’s for the petty bourgeoisie lounging in Hawaii
Who routinely gets a glass of champagne
I’m not crazy, I’m just fond of you
And all the piles of money that grows next to you
I’m a bitch
The solid-gold glass is not included in the price
It won’t be hard to squeeze the one-hundred (euros) bill out of you
Some things are priceless
Like the latest Versace bag
I’m just recordin’ that track for all the bitches out there
Shakin’ their ass like they just don’t care
Like they just don’t care
I’m just recordin’ that track for all the bitches out there
Shakin’ their ass like they just don’t care
Oh, they just don’t care
They just don’t care
I‘d like to get a glass, of beverage, of champagne
That’s for the petty
Drinking champagne
That’s for the petty bourgeoisie drinking champagne
That’s for all the French quotas that I no longer speak English
I’m not crazy, I’m just fond of you
And all the piles of money that grows next to you
That’s for the petty bourgeoisie lounging in Hawaii
Who routinely gets a glass of champagne
I’m not crazy, I’m just fond of you
And all the piles of money that grows next to you
- 1. I've known the song for 15 years and I've always wondered what that sentence meant, because it doesn't make much sense in French. I suspect that "quotas" is wrong but I can't make out another word nor find other lyrics.
