I've waited so long for my moment in the sun, sun, sun
I've tried to stay calm, but come on!
This feels like a con! I've worked it, now I'm done, done, done
It's time to move up, or move on
I read all the books that keep telling me to manifest my dreams
Fat lot of good they do
I fake it to make it, how long will it take?
Too damn long, it seems
Is this the high life? Then why am I wearing Primark?
Is this the high life? I don't think so
Is this the high life? Then why did they just cut my credit cards?
Is this the high life? I don't think so
I've written a song just to stop me feeling numb, numb, numb
The numbers were drawn and I got none
But hey, where I'm from all that matters is to have some fun
So keep banging on that drum
I read all the books that keep telling me to manifest my dreams
Fat lot of good they do
I fake it to make it, but give me a break, I don't need
To be Queen
Is this the high life? Then why am I wearing Walmart?
Is this the high life? I don't think so
Is this the high life? Then why did they impound my golf cart?
Is this the high life? I don't think so
But now and then I wake up and I see
All of the things I've already received
Hey, things are fine, I have friends and good times
And love, and that's all I will ever need
What is the high life? Watch out, cos I am throwing you a wild card
Is gold the high life? I don't think so!
What is the high life? It's living every day like you're in paradise
Is cash the high life? I don't think so!
Is this the high life? My days are more exciting than Jurassic Park
Is this this the high life? Yes, I think so!
Is this the high life? No matter what I'm wearing I look razor sharp
Is this the high life? Yes it, yes it, yes it is!!!
