Alex Dominish - Monopoly Lyrics

I was aiming for Boardwalk
I'd even settle for Park Place
Now I've found that I'm destined to reside in Mediterranean
I know it's just 'round the corner
But it's not easy to go there
Even if I roll the dice and take a chance the success never lasts
It's like I'm playing Monopoly
But I keep rolling the twos and threes
Every player's ahead, I'm only paying the rent
Feel like I'm playing Monopoly
Every time I get doubles
I go directly to jail
Suddenly my luck runs out without a doubt and payment's my way out
Can't get a ticket to leave town
Because I've mortgaged the railroads
Should I say I can't relax, my income tax has run me off the tracks
It's like I'm playing Monopoly
But all I have are utilities
Every turn that I get, I don't have a color set
Feels like I'm playing Monopoly
The beauty contest let me down, I received second prize
Elected chairman of the board, I did it all with bribes
The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing that playing the game
Are others who are just like me struggling with their properties
It's like I'm playing Monopoly
But there's nothing in Free Parking
Official rules of the game, with Parker Brothers to blame
It's like I'm playing Monopoly
There is no sense of community
Every card that I take, I wonder if this is fate
It's like I'm playing Monopoly
I'm being forced into bankruptcy
My so-called friends are to blame, I'm at a loss for their gain
Why am I playing Monopoly
I'll flip the board almost certainly
What a terrible game, it always ends the same
Feel like I'm playing Monopoly
