2000 Shoes

Philippine Star, greedy girl
Took the money to buy the world
First a little, then a lot
Others' needs were soon forgot
I heard you like a love song
This, dear one, is just for you
In keeping with your taste, sweetheart
It's called 2000 Shoes

Never had a conscience
Or any moral views
Even any kind of taste
Just 2000 shoes
If I had the world to sell
I could strike a deal with you
I know you haven't got the cash
Just 2000 shoes

Catwalk at the embassy
Supplied by human rights
Gaddafi and George Hamilton
Mao Tse-Tung and disco lights

Never had a conscience
Or any moral views
Even any kind of taste
Just 2000 shoes
If I had the world to sell
I could strike a deal with you
I know you haven't got the cash
Just 2000 shoes

So here it is, Imelda
Sorry it's the blues
I would have done it different
If I was in your shoes

Never had a conscience
Or any moral views
Even any kind of taste
Just 2000 shoes
If I had the world to sell
I could strike a deal with you
I know you haven't got the cash
Just 2000 shoes
