Billions Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, billions, oh, billions, oh
We’re gonna get there, honey
Oh, billions, oh, billions, oh
Anything for that money
[Verse 1]
Buy all of the eyes
All of the minds
Of all of the people, honey
Buy, buying the truth, buying the lies
And all of the rules with money
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a new world
It’s a bad dream
It’s a new form
Of divinity
Call it tragic
Call it crazy
Get rich
It’s amazing
[Chorus]
You want this
You can have it all
Be your own god
Mr. Wonderful
It hits you
Like a cannon ball
Eat the ninety-nine
Like a cannibal
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la, la, la
[Verse 2]
What good is a soul?
How would it take?
Baby, it’s got no pockets
Oh, listen to me
Just take what you need
I’m telling you, you’ll feel better
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a new world
It’s a bad drеam
It’s a new form
Of divinity
Call it tragic
Call it crazy
Get rich
It’s amazing
[Chorus]
You want this
You can have it all
Bе your own god
Mr. Wonderful
It hits you
Like a cannon ball
Eat the ninety-nine
Like a cannibal
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la, la, la
[Outro]
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la

Behind the Song: “Billions” — half•alive
“Billions” fits naturally into half•alive’s larger artistic world, where music, movement, storytelling, and spirituality often intersect. Josh Taylor has described the band’s work as an exploration of the tension between the physical and spiritual sides of being human. The song continues that tradition through symbolism, urgency, and introspection.
Song Bio of Billions Lyrics – half•alive
half•alive has never been a band content to write a simple pop song, and “Billions” proves it again. Released August 28, 2026, as part of the group’s album of the same name, the track turns a satirical eye toward wealth obsession and the strange new religion of getting rich at any cost.
Produced by the band alongside Joshua Taylor and J. Tyler Johnson, “Billions” builds around a driving, anthemic energy that mirrors its subject matter. The song imagines a world where everything, including truth itself, has a price tag, and where chasing money becomes its own form of worship. That tension between glittering excess and moral emptiness runs through every verse, delivered with the theatrical flair half•alive fans have come to expect.
Sonically, the track leans into big, sing-along hooks, anchored by a chant-like post-chorus that practically demands a crowd response. It’s a bold, almost cinematic statement from a band known for blending art-pop instincts with pointed social commentary.
With “Billions,” half•alive continues to carve out a lane where infectious melodies carry weightier ideas underneath, cementing their reputation as one of alternative pop’s most thoughtful acts.
