[Lyrics]
Tattooed boys with expensive toys
Living in a bubble of sin
Money can buy you most of anything
Fix your nose or the mess you're in
Front page news, you can share your views
With a population (that) wants to be like you
Out on the strip, out on the tiles
Same old greed behind the p.r. smiles
You and all your entourage - to me you're all the same
You and all your entourage - playing foolish games
I don't want your big city shining
I don't want your silver lining
I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire (x2)
He's got a wife - she ain't no brain child
Ex-mud queen of miami
In his stretch cadillac he keeps her in the back
With his cd player and his bottle of jack
L.a. dude, l.a. attitude
Laid back, selfish, and getting fat
Bodyguards, porn stars, gold credit cards
Using each other - running for cover
You and all your entourage - to me you're all the same
You and all your entourage - playing foolish games
I don't want your big city shining
I don't want your silver lining
I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire (x5)

''Tattooed Millionaire''is a song from Bruce Dickinson's debut solo album, Tattooed Millionaire. It was released in October, 1990.
Dive Dive Live video can be found on ''Anthology'' DVD (Disc 1) by Bruce Dickinson, released on June 19, 2006.
''Anthology'' is a 3 disc compilation DVD by Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden. The DVD features three live performances as well every single promotional video made during Bruce's solo career. The DVD also includes over an hour of extras and unreleased footage.
Disc 1 features two live performances, the first is from the Tattooed Millionaire tour entitled Dive Dive Live, Bruce's first tour as a solo artist,and the second live performance is from the Skunkworks tour 1996 - Recorded in Pamplona and Gerona, Spain on May 30th and 31st 1996.
Dive Dive Live was filmed at the Town & Country Club in LA, August 14,at the end of the "Tattooed millionaire" US club tour in 1990. The video was directed by Jim Yukich (known for his work with Iron Maidens "Live After Death") and the personel were the same as on "Tattooed Millionaire", except that Dickie Fliszar handled the drum duties.
The material consists of practically all material from the Tattooed Millionaire-sessions (except Darkness Be My Friend from the All The Young Dudes single) including Bring Your Daughter...). The set also included some cover songs the band did on the tour, Deep Purple's "Black Night", AC/DC's "Sin City". They had previously done Free's "Wishing Well" on the European leg of the tour and in the US this one was replaced by Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.
'' 'Tattooed Millionaire' is a hard rock album released in 1990 by Bruce Dickinson. It is his first solo album. The album project began when Dickinson was asked to record a song for the fifth Nightmare on Elm Street movie, which became the song called "Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter". Collaborating with future Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers, Dickinson began to make a solo album which was fundamentally different from his works with Iron Maiden, sounding much more rock-oriented. "Bring your Daughter..." was not included on the original album but Iron Maiden later recorded a different version that was included on their 1990 album No Prayer for the Dying, which coincidentally became the band's only number one single to date. The introduction to the song "No Lies" is also reminiscent of Iron Maiden's version of "Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter". All songs written and composed by Bruce Dickinson and Janick Gers, except where noted. ''
The album was recorded in Battery studios in London and was produced by Chris Tsangrides. It featured the Mott the Hoople cover All the young dudes (also released as single) which Bruce changed the words for. In the line "My brother's back at home with the Beatles and the Stones" he exchanged the word "brother" to "father", since he thought it was such a long time the original words were written that it fitted better to have his father back at home with the Beatles and the Stones.
The album was a way for Bruce to ventilate his workoholism but he did nothing that he thought would scare people off as it was made "under the watchful eye of the collective", i.e. Iron Maiden. '' (Sourse:The Bruce Dickinson Wellbeng Network)
