For the second verse it’s more finger picking than chords so the placement of the sus2 chords is approximate [Intro] [Verse 1] From a great height He’s looking down on his city at night From gilded room Of gold marble and soft perfume And he’s proud to say He built his fortune the old fashioned way Because to succeed There’s only one thing you really need [Chorus] A million dollar loan Nobody makes it on their own Without a million dollar loan You’ll reap what you’ve sown From a million dollar loan Call your father on the phone And get that million dollar loan [Verse 2] His enemies Can’t contain the flames of jealousy With brutish charm The women flock to be on his arm Because it’s a sign Of weakness to apologize And he counter sues From any corner he’s backed into [Chorus] A million dollar loan Nobody makes it on their own Without a million dollar loan To cast the first stone You’ll need a million dollar loan Every ascension to a throne Starts with a million dollar loan A million dollar loan Nobody makes it on their own Without a million dollar loan You’ll reap what you’ve sown From a million dollar loan Call your father on the phone And get that million dollar loan [Break]           [Verse 3] A siren screams Through the city as he falls asleep The campaign Begins again at the break of day [Chorus] A million dollar loan Nobody makes it on their own Without a million dollar loan To cast the first stone You’ll need a million dollar loan Every ascension to a throne Starts with a million dollar loan A million dollar loan Nobody makes it on their own Without a million dollar loan You’ll reap what you’ve sown From a million dollar loan Call your father on the phone And get that million dollar loan [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'ascension d'une personne riche qui admire sa ville illuminée depuis un environnement luxueux. Elle met en lumière le fait que sa réussite repose en grande partie sur un soutien financier considérable, souvent hérité ou accordé par des proches. Elle soulève des thèmes de jalousie, de pouvoir et de dépendance aux ressources, avec une critique sous-jacente de l'idée que le succès est uniquement le fruit d’efforts personnels. Au fil des strophes, on sent également une tension croissante, soulignant que même dans la chute, le cycle de la compétition et de l'ambition ne fait que recommencer. La chanson capte ainsi l'ironie d'un monde où l'autonomie semble illusoire sans l'apport de financements externes.
