Phil Druyor - Paper Trail lyrics

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 this would be okay? Are you listening? [Chorus] 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 Crashing down upon you Will you listen to me? [Chorus] This has to end Open your eyes and see that everything we know 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) f** diamonds, f** gold f** a lotta things that you know I'm not living for the k**ing I got places that I wanna go Holding on to what truly inspires, ignites all desires See through the folding over, 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 Bought or sold is greater than gold Is greater than gold You will listen to me now Shut your mouth
