Cash Machine Lyrics
Shiny like a limousine
You're spending like a cash machine
Smile, show your golden teeth
That's how you cover up your cavities
You're glowing like a diamond ring
I saw you bought some other things
You're spending like a cash machine
To cover up your insecurities
Don't front, no need
[Chorus]
When is it enough?
How bad do you need that stuff?
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?
When is it enough?
Turns out you don't need that stuff
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?
[Verse 2]
Shiny like a limousine
You're spending like a cash machine
Smile, show your golden teeth
That's how you cover up your cavities
You're not fooling us all
Someone tell me something
Shut up and take my money
I've got pockets full of gold
No, I don't owe nothing
Stop acting funny
I've seen greedy people hungry
Up in swarms, I've seen them running
Coming for more
[Chorus]
When is it enough?
How bad do you need that stuff?
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?
When is it enough?
Turns out you don't need that stuff
What's it all for?
Why's it seem like you still want more?
[Outro]
Shiny like a limousine
You're spending like a cash machine
Smile, show your golden teeth
That's how you cover up your cavities
You're not fooling us all

Find answers to frequently asked questions about the song and explore its deeper meaning
I spent the last three years travelling around the world, and everything I own fits inside a big [faux] Gucci carry-on suitcase. That and my backpack fits my entire life. If you think you need money or material objects to be happy, then I honestly think there’s something wrong with you and you are sick in your head. We waste the best years of our lives chasing after money so that we can buy all these things we don’t need. It’s absurd.
