Lyrically speaking the Lady GaGa Beautiful Dirty Rich lyrics are no Poker Face. Whereas Poker Face is basically a twisted love song, the Beautiful Dirty Rich lyrics are a commentary on a particular lifestyle (and not necessarily lifestyle choice).
The Lady GaGa Beautiful Dirty Rich lyrics seem to satirize the stereotype of the rich kid, especially when one watches the music video. Teenagers who don’t know the value of money, whose parents are obviously wealthy party at the mansion and eat or burn money.
Lady GaGa Beautiful Dirty Rich Lyrics
Beautiful, dirty dirty rich rich dirty dirty
Beautiful dirty rich
Dirty dirty rich dirty dirty rich beautiful
Beautiful and dirty dirty rich rich dirty
We got a red light
Pornographic dance fight
Systematic, honey
But we got no money
Our hair is perfect
While were all getting shit wrecked
It’s automatic, honey
But we got no money
Daddy I’m so sorry, I’m so s-s-sorry yeah
We just like to party, like to p-p-party yeah
Bang bang, we’re beautiful and dirty rich
Bang bang, we’re beautiful and dirty rich
We live a cute life
Sound fanatic, pants tighter than plastic, honey
But we got no money
We do the dance right
We have got it made like
Ice cream topped with honey
But we got no money
Daddy I’m so sorry, I’m so s-s-sorry yeah
We just like to party, like to p-p-party yeah
Bang bang, we’re beautiful and dirty rich
Bang bang, we’re beautiful and dirty rich
A bang bang bang, bang bang bang, beautiful, dirty rich
A bang bang bang, bang bang bang, beautiful, dirty rich
Bang bang, we’re beautiful and dirty rich
Bang bang, we’re beautiful and dirty rich
Bang bang
One of the confusing lines is the one that says, “But we got no money” which could mean several things. First, it could mean they live on their parent’s credit cards, or their own. Or it could mean they burn through it too fast. It could also mean the family is losing its wealth and they are partying while they can.
No matter what, the Lady GaGa Beautiful Dirty Rich lyrics are intriguing. They are not as challenging as other songs she’s sung, but they do make one wonder weather she is commenting on her own newfound stardom, money and material things or poking fun at others who have always had this. Perhaps this is a poke in the eye as well as a poke in the face to the rich girls and boys who seem to have it all, but don’t have as much as it seems.
