Noughties (Stop Being Poor)

Hello everyone
I'm going to take you on a journey through a decade that I lived through
And I survived

We're going back to the Noughties
The 2000s
Listening to Britney
Her new album

Back to the Noughties
I went from 8 to 18
Everything from a nightmare
To Beyonce sweet dreams

Moved from Brisbane to Jakarta, Indonesia
My dad got a job here and I'm very scared to meet ya
I don't speak the language and I'm mentally ill
My parents gave me lots of trauma, I could really use some pills

9 Months later, divorce, went back to Brisbane
Then we moved to Yeppoon, it was my mother's decision
Beautiful pineapples and what a nice beach
But we moved with her new boyfriend who was an abusive creep
We had dial-up internet you guys
It was wild

In the Noughties
The 2000s
Pokemon Emerald
And Neopets I found 'em

In the Noughties
I went from 8 to 18
Everything from a nightmare
To my teenage dream

Just like you I get lonely too
Top friends on my MySpace how do you do?
If I spend every day having fun online
I won't think about my life that makes me wanna die

My dad sent us enough money for me to get a therapist
But my mother spent it all on booze
Who needs therapy?

In the Noughties
The 2000s
Listening to TLC
Their new album

In the Noughties
I went from 8 to 18
Somebody wake me up
From my teenage dream

Please don't be alarmed by my childhood trauma
I always find the humour in amongst the drama
My mother an abusive suicidal alcoholic
And she's come a really long way
She's just abusive

I don't talk to that bitch today
But I still watch the Lizzie McGuire movie - it's fuckin' gay
And Missy Elliott is still a hip hop icon
Drop it flip and reverse it when you hear that song (Work it)

Here's a list of things that I love from the 2000s, are you ready?
We'll start with Paris Hilton
Flavor of Love
Tiffany New York fuckin' Pollard
Kathy Griffin
My Life On The D List
Music like Garbage and No Doubt
And gay porn
And Rule 34... I mean, nope
Just, just regular, human, real, porn
I don't know how that got in there. Anyway

If I could give young me some advice
Stop being poor
If I could give young me some advice
Stop being poor!

In the Noughties
The 2000s
If I saw my bullies now
I'd fuckin' pound 'em

In the Noughties
I went from 8 to 18
Somebody wake me up
From my teenage dream

We're in the Noughties
The 2000s
Listen to X-Tina (Dirrty)
Her new album

Back to the Noughties
I went from eight to 18
And guess what moles?
Now I'm living my dreams

Stop being poor
I'm trying
Say it with me now

Stop being poor
