Raw Materials

What's the use of a forest?
It takes ages to grow
It might churn out some wood
But it's all very slow

Why not clear out the trees
To make way for a plant?
Manufacturing products
To fulfil every want

You could fabricate broomsticks
Every household needs one
Create things out of plastics
Like a doll or a gun

There's always something to be turned
From raw material to goods
Don't listen to your critics
If you can do it, then you should
If there's a cow, you should milk it
If there's a lemon, you squeeze it
Who cares if you poison the air
There's toxins and dust everywhere
Who doesn't want to be a billionaire?
A billionaire, a billionaire
A, a billionaire

What's the use of a mountain?
It just adds to the view
You could use it for hiking
But that's all you can do

Take some dynamite with you
Blow a hole in its side
You could excavate silver
And what gold it may hide

Bring the drillers and miners
Scar the landscape, so what?
All the world's for the taking
So come on, take your cut

There's always something to be turned
From raw material to goods
Don't listen to your critics
If you can do it, then you should
If there's a cow, you should milk it
If there's a lemon, you squeeze it
Who cares if you poison the air
There's toxins and dust everywhere
Who doesn't want to be (Who?)
Who doesn't want to be (You?)
Who doesn't want to be a billionaire?

A, a billionaire
A, a, a billionaire
