Lyrics


BRANDS
Clearly they don’t understand that
I’m blessed with a generous heart
and feelings delicate for a man of my exalted state

Noblesse Oblige is what I believe
separates our ruling class from the riff-raff

I give so much to society
Why do they then despise the trappings of my life

I’m a benign oligarch
I do enough for the little people
And yes I make lots of money
yet it’s less than I deserve

Spite and jealousy cause them not to see that
what is good for me is always best for them

It doesn’t matter anyway
The Hoi Polloi they hold no sway
over how I spend one single day

The common man cannot comprehend
how the world works and who makes it run
They owe their lives to my enterprise

Noblesse Oblige is what I believe
separates our ruling class from the riff-raff

We make the rules and
they labor for us
It is simply common sense
the natural order
It is simply common sense
the natural order

Call Mogul 
and have him get his ass
over here A-S-A-P

Let your voice ring out in Mediastan, become part of our project to crowd source the musical performance of The Media Lords
