Capital - Burn Down the House Lyrics

Black tie party up in Beverly Hills
I'm rockin' Vans and a sweater cause I'm keeping it real
Actually, I didn't get the memo
These housewives look me up and down like I'm mental

But I don't really care
I think they're more crazy with their fake boobs and fake hair
Gotta ten grand dress and a designer bag
I got my clearance jeans and they still got the tag

See I'ma always live cheap
I hear there's shrimp cocktail homie let a brother eat
Grab myself a plate get a steak and a Pork Chop
Call me Doug Funny cause I make your dog laugh a lot

Oh, so there's a pool downstairs
But there's free liquor here so I ain't going down there
I ain't trying to get drunk I just love the word "free"
Let me spell it out, I'm B-R-O-K-E

You know, I'm that dude
That came for, the free food
I won't take thirds I ain't that rude

I make a, fool out
Of myself
I don't, need no help
Everyone wanna paint the town
But I'm burning down the house

Wow, they're all business professionals
I made them laugh it was not intentional
Feeling trapped I snuck away to get some food
Eat myself to death I'll have a buffet at my funeral

Packing my pockets and stuffing my socks man
Asking the waiter for a to-go box
I hit the bathroom but there's a line for days
I hit the back yard and take a piss in the alleyway

Rich house party turning into a weird dream
Old ladies dance on my friend like he's James Dean
They try to get me in the middle of a conga line
Sorry grandma, isn't it way past your bedtime?

I dance by myself, and teach them how to Dougie
Move like a white 6th grader and they all love me
Center of attention at the center of the dance floor
Did I fail to mention that they begged for an encore?

Staying true to the 10's with my 3 or 4 friends
This Never Ending Story never ever gonna end
While these other dudes play pretend
Like they hanging out with Falcor every other weekend

Sound like a lie to me
Dude my wife and my dog are really all I need
You can take the money you can take the dream
You can stay "woke" cause I'm living the dream

Just wanna move people don't wanna be Regal
Cause you got one life and there ain't no sequel
Wanna give you love wanna make you peaceful
Wanna lift you up when you on pins and needles man

If at the end of my life songs never make a dime
Well, I don't know. That would be mildly depressing

I Try not to think about it
