Bling City
A relentless rock out finale…
I liked the title phrase and built a lyric around it. Excessive materialism deserves to be pilloried!

E G A E (bass G riff)
I was a Rover, a ne’er do well when all said and done
E G A E (bass G riff)
You bowled me over, I really thought that you were the one
A C D A (bass C riff)
I was ecstatic, I promised you everything
E G A E (bass G riff)
I even shelled out for a certified diamond ring
Now I know money, I say easy come easy go
But let me tell you honey, even I think it’s time to go slow
‘Cos you took to it, you knew how to go for it hard
I think you blew it when you rinsed out my platinum card
G
You want to live in bling city
F# F E
Wrapped in ostentatious wealth
G
I know that it’s a pity
A G E
But your excess is affecting my mental health
A C D
You say you’ve gotta make your mark
Sick and tired of stumbling in the dark
Well Ok, maybe that’s true
Bsus4 B
But what’s all that show and glitter doing to you
You got hello and OK drooling at your heel
What can I say I just don’t get the appeal
I really do not understand what your head’s about
I think it’s getting time that I was ducking out
