Lyrics (from the Soviet Kitsch liner notes):

Poor little rich boy
all the couples have gone
You wish that they hadn't
you don't want to be alone
but they want to kiss
and they got homes of their own
poor little rich boy
all the couples have gone have gone have gone

and you don't love your girlfriend
you don't ♥ your girlfriend
and you think that you should but she thinks that she's fat but she isn't but you don't love her anyway
and you don't love your mother
and you know that you should
and you wish that you would
but you don't anyway...

poor little rich boy
oh the world is okay
the water runs off your skin
and down into the drain
you're reading Fitzgerald
you're reading Hemingway
they're both super smart
and drinking in the cafes

but you don't love your girlfriend
you don't ♥ your girlfriend
and you think that you should but she thinks that she's fat but she isn't but you don't love her anyway
and you don't love your mother
and you know that you should
and you wish that you would
but you don't anyway

you're so young you're so god damn young
you're so young you're so god damn young
and you don't love your girlfriend
