About Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)

"Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)" is a song by UK synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys, released as a single in 1985 and then in 1986, gaining greater popularity in both the UK and U.S. with its second release. Written as a satire of Thatcherism and its embodiment in conspicuous consumption and yuppies in the United Kingdom during the 1980s, the song's indirect attack on its subject matter has come to exemplify the Pet Shop Boys as ironists in their songwriting. .

Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money) Lyrics

[00:38.76] I've got the brains, you've got the looks
[00:42.76] Let's make lots of money
[00:46.09] You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
[00:51.13] Let's make lots of-
[00:54.36] I've had enough of scheming and messing around with jerks
[00:58.28] My car is parked outside, I'm afraid it doesn't work
[01:02.26] I'm looking for a partner, someone who gets things fixed
[01:06.66] Ask yourself this question, do you want to be rich?
[01:11.30] I've got the brains, you've got the looks
[01:15.37] Let's make lots of money
[01:19.43] You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
[01:23.51] Let's make lots of money
[01:27.37] You can tell I'm educated, I studied at the Sorbonne
[01:31.36] Doctored in mathematics, I could have been a don
[01:35.33] I can program a computer, choose the perfect time
[01:39.10] If you've got the inclination, I have got the crime
[01:45.76] Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
[01:51.02] If you know when to take them, you know?
[01:54.37] There's a lot of opportunities
[01:58.92] If there aren't, you can make them
[02:01.56] Make or break them
[02:03.39] I've got the brains, you've got the looks
[02:07.30] Let's make lots of money
[02:11.88] Let's make lots of
[02:17.61] Money
[02:41.53] You can see I'm single-minded, I know what I could be
[02:45.11] How'd you feel about it? Come take a walk with me
[02:48.91] I'm looking for a partner, regardless of expense
[02:53.08] Think about it seriously, you know it makes sense
[02:59.70] Let's (got the brains) make (got the looks)
[03:03.66] Let's make lots of money (money)
[03:07.05] (Let's) you've got the brawn (make) I've got the brains
[03:11.96] Let's make lots of money (money)
[03:15.86] I've got the brains (got the brains)
[03:17.18] You've got the looks (got the looks)
[03:19.22] Let's make lots of money (oh, money)
[03:22.93] Money
[03:26.83]
