I want everything covered in gold A land that only Midas could dream of Where we could grow old I want everything coated in chrome But I won't be satisfied, no I'm a dog with a bone
What a fall from grace this is We struggled for years to build this Why did we think that this would be okay? Are you listening?
And are you gonna listen to me now? We're building a dependency on material things This has to end
At the foot of this imaginary throne They'll be a casket waiting for you Every single thing that you placed on a pedestal Will come crashing down upon you Crashing down upon you
Will you listen to me?
And are you gonna listen to me now? We're building a dependency on material things This has to end (this has to end) Open your eyes and see that everything we know Neither bought or sold is greater than gold, is greater than gold
At the fall when you've lost it all We won't be there for you to call upon
Corruption is everywhere you look (x2)
Fuck diamonds, fuck gold Fuck a lot of things that you know I'm not living for the killing, I've got places I want to go Holding onto what truly inspires ignites all desires See through the folding over again of every green benjamin And do what ignites and inspires with your feet on the ground again
Open your eyes and see that everything we know Neither bought or sold is greater than gold, is greater than gold
