Lyrics

[00:00.74] They line up in droves
[00:05.03] Bare their teeth, put on a show
[00:09.94] You're cashing on their dreams
[00:14.68] Your checkbook sights their hopes
[00:19.77] They'll bleed if you ask
[00:24.09] Stop breathing if the same
[00:28.76] You're playing with your food
[00:33.73] Reeling in your pray
[00:38.56] And it all turns gold, gold, gold
[00:43.20] Everything you lay your hand upon
[00:45.39] You know just what the people want
[00:47.68] They're sold, sold, sold
[00:52.01] Everything they have close and tied
[00:56.24] Throw away in the heat of the stage lights
[01:06.73] They're buying for your time
[01:11.60] Pressing you to hear
[01:15.71] Take advantage of the desperation
[01:20.60] Say come back in a year
[01:25.37] They put their lives on hold
[01:30.11] Finding every day
[01:34.82] So that they may return
[01:39.58] Only to be tamed away
[01:44.63] And it all turns gold, gold, gold
[01:48.11] Everything you lay your hand upon
[01:51.32] You know just what the people want
[01:54.29] They're sold, sold, sold
[01:58.22] Everything they have close and tied
[02:01.22] Throw away in the heat of the stage lights
[02:13.62] And I get that it's quite enticing
[02:16.50] The lights of the stage are so inviting
[02:22.71] But the lights are packed in, the season's over
[02:29.23] And they lost all their credibility
[02:35.82] And now they have find their new feet
[02:41.78] Kicking themselves for trying, trying to compete
[02:48.24] And it all turns gold, gold, gold
[02:52.79] Everything you lay your hand upon
[02:54.75] You know just what the people want
[02:57.79] They're sold, sold, sold
[03:02.48] Everything they have close and tied
[03:04.97] Throw away in the heat of the stage lights
[03:08.44]
