Wounded prince, where's your daddy? he's out watching the fat lady sing
Did you break your leg? did you bloody your nose?
The cameras are here, to watch your blue blood flow
Your mother's being poked by some bloke in the bahamas
Wounded prince, where's your grandma?
The tourists are watching the changing of the diapers
Wounded prince, wrapped in swaddling scandal,
How much yellow press can your blue blood handle?
Your mother's being poked by some bloke in the bahamas
Money money, the richest boy in the world
Money money, you aint being spoiled
Your mother's being poked by some bloke in the bahamas
Wounded prince, the doctors are giving a press conference,
The cameras are gathered for a portrait of your sarcopha
Gus wounded prince, no you aint dead yet!
You fell off that pony and made the stock market sweat
Your mother's being poked by some bloke in the bahamas
Money money, the richest boy in the world
Money money, no you aint being spoiled
Your mother's being poked by some bloke in the bahamas.
