[Intro]
The way to earn money as a Pokémon Champion is to start beating up on some random kid's pets and start stealing their cash
But what do the earnings of a Pokémon master truly look like?
Pokémon Johto, let's go

[Pre-Chorus]
Chase your dreams
Just prepare to file for bankruptcy (for bankruptcy)
Even in if you get to the end you lose money on your journey
It's the single WORST financial decision EVER
Getting shocked over and over doesn't make it better (Pikachu)

[Chorus]
Pokémon masters are broke
They can't pay them bills
Being a trainer's a joke
They can't get that Pokéskrill
Pokémon masters are broke
They can't pay them bills
Being a trainer's a joke
No sweet, sweet Pokéskrill

[Verse 1]
We've all had that dream though, right?
To spend a year out of your life
In the world of Pokémon
To become a champion
Armed with only a few Pokéballs
Traveling the land to catch animals
And make 'em fight eternal blood sport to the death (to the death)
You see, video games tend to gloss over the rest of live (the rest of live)
What do the earning of a Pokémon master truly look like? (truly look like)
You might be able to speedrun your way to the top of the pokécharts (the pokécharts)
If you were to make them Pokébucks and spend them in Pokémart (It's gonna be pokéhard)
[Pre-Chorus]
Chase your dreams
Just prepare to file for bankruptcy (for bankruptcy)
Even in if you get to the end you lose money on your journey
It's the single WORST financial decision EVER
Getting shocked over and over doesn't make it better (Pikachu)

[Chorus]
Pokémon masters are broke
They can't pay them bills
Being a trainer's a joke
They can't get that Pokéskrill
Pokémon masters are broke
They can't pay them bills
Being a trainer's a joke
No sweet, sweet Pokéskrill

[Verse 2]
It'd be a great time, or so we'd like to think
You still have to eat, sleep
Use the bathroom or the most convenient tree
If you became a Pokémon champion, how broke would you be?
Beatin' up the Elite Four give you 85 cans of soda from the vending machine

[Hook]
Pokédollars, Pokéskrill, Pokébucks, pay them bills
Pokébones, pokécharts, Poké... whatever they are
Pokédollars, Pokéskrill, Pokébucks, pay them bills
Pokébones, pokécharts, Poké... whatever they are
[Pre-Chorus]
Chase your dreams
Just prepare to file for bankruptcy (for bankruptcy)
Even in if you get to the end you lose money on your journey
It's the single WORST financial decision EVER
Getting shocked over and over doesn't make it better (Pikachu)

[Chorus]
Pokémon masters are broke
They can't pay them bills
Being a trainer's a joke
They can't get that Pokéskrill
Pokémon masters are broke
They can't pay them bills
Being a trainer's a joke
No sweet, sweet Pokéskrill

[Outro]
But hey, that's just a theory...
A Game Theory!
And we didn't even talk about taxes
Don't even get me started on taxes...
