Giles Robinson - Where'd All the Money Go? Lyrics

As he sits in his chair with a bottle of wine
Clenched fingers through his hair he ain't doing fine
Same desk same chair
Again and again, for years on end it don't seem fair
He's tried this and that but they all came back
Same results each time gets no money back, why's that

Smartest man I know, you think he'd go
Way up in the clouds where the money's thrown
He's studied everything economics to robotics
Worked around the world and the money from it
Now he's drinking like he's an alcoholic
Depressed cause from three years he ain't made money from it how ironic

Nalalalalalalala, too much wasted time
Nalalalalalalala, I'll make sure it don't happen to mine
Nalalalalalalala, and needs to know
Nalalalalalalala, where'd all the money go, whoa

Where'd all that money go, whoa
Where'd all that money go, whoa

Been following his dream, since a kid
Working on computers has been his lifetime gig
Somewhere along the line
His dream confined to boredom and frustration now he's outa time
Once happy with his work at university
Now stuck in a rut he's losing clarity

Woah, woah

His friend didn't understand, it was cause he needed a change
So he rubbished him and made him upset in exchange
All the anger's been boiling up inside, takes it out on us kids covering it up with lies
He's a dormant volcano, which finally exploded
Swearing his head off at mum he can't control it, whoa

Nalalalalalalala, too much wasted time
Nalalalalalalala, I'll make sure it don't happen to mine
Nalalalalalalala, and needs to know
Nalalalalalalala, where'd all the money go, whoa

Where'd all that money go, whoa
Where'd all that money go, whoa
Where'd all that money go, whoa
Where'd all that money go

I know he's had enough of this, he needs to take a break from it
All the screaming and crying cause of his shit
I know nobody's perfect but he keeps saying he'll quit

Nalalalalalalala, too much wasted time
Nalalalalalalala, I'll make sure it don't happen to mine
Nalalalalalalala, fighting back the tears
Nalalalalalalala, faced with his fears
Nalalalalalalala, needs to know
Nalalalalalalala, where'd all the money go, whoa

Where'd all the money go, whoa
Where'd all the money go, whoa
Where'd all the money go, whoa
Where'd all the money go, whoa
Where'd all the money go, whoa
Where'd all the money go, whoa
