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?
Building a dependency on material things
This has to end
At the foot of this imaginary throne
There'll be a casket waiting for you
Every single thing that you placed on a pedestal
Will come crashing down upon you
Will come crashing down upon you
Will you listen to me?
And are you gonna listen to me now?
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
BLEGH!
Corruption is everywhere you look
Corruption is everywhere you look
Fuck diamonds
Fuck gold
Fuck a lotta things
That you know
I'm not livin' for the killin'
I got places that I wanna go
Holding on to what truly inspires
Ignites all desires
Shh...
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
You will listen to me
Now!
Shut your mouth!
