Alchemy (Shit to Gold) Lyrics by I Hate This Place

One Minute Mayhem

2004

[Chorus]
This song does not have a soul
Yeah, the vocal sucks and the beats I stole
But I've got a million copies sold
And I'm not even thirteen years old
Videos on MTV
And I'm number one on Top 40
Doing paid endorsements for Pepsi
Ain't it funny how you can turn shit to gold?
(Shit to gold)
[Verse 1]
Midnight, trying to come up with another hit
But it's just so hard 'cause you know I can't write for shit
And singing, what's that? Just another waste of time
But cover up with autotune and it'll all be fine
And we'll press it to disc (Yeah)
Sell it to all of the TV [?]
And we'll get filthy rich (Yeah)
And we'll dare the world to try and stop us
[Chorus]
This song does not have a soul
Yeah, the vocal sucks and the beats I stole
But I've got a million copies sold
And I'm not even thirteen years old
Videos on MTV
And I'm number one on Top 40
Doing paid endorsements for Pepsi
Ain't it funny how you can turn shit to gold?
[Verse 2]
Glamour, fashion, yeah that is what it's all about
Who's hot, who's not, who's in and baby who is out
No press is bad press, at least that's what they say
So never mind what you're doing tonight, just deny it all next day
And just do what you do (Yeah)
Got an image to maintain
And you'd better pull through (Yeah)
Get all fifteen minutes of your fame
[Chorus]
This song does not have a soul
Yeah, the vocal sucks and the beats I stole
But I've got a million copies sold
And I'm not even thirteen years old
Videos on MTV
And I'm number one on Top 40
Doing paid endorsements for Pepsi
Ain't it funny how you can turn shit to gold?
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
This song does not have a soul
Yeah, the vocal sucks and the beats I stole
But I've got a million copies sold (I hate my life)
And I'm not even thirteen years old ([?])
Videos on MTV
And I'm number one on Top 40
Doing paid endorsements for Pepsi
Ain't it funny how you can turn shit to gold? (Ain't it funny)
This song does not have a soul
Yeah, the vocal sucks and the beats I stole
But I've got a million copies sold (I hate my life)
And I'm not even thirteen years old (I'm not thirteen years old)
Videos on MTV
And I'm number one on Top 40
Doing paid endorsements for Pepsi (Number one)
Ain't it funny how you can turn shit to gold (Let's do another line)
This song does not have a soul
Yeah, the vocal sucks and the beats I stole
But I've got a million copies sold
And I'm not even thirteen years old
Videos on MTV
And I'm number one on Top 40
Doing paid endorsements for Pepsi
Ain't it funny how you can turn shit to gold
[Outro]
(Check me into rehab)
