Gold

I thought it's got to be a joke of some kind Is it the emperor's clothes that turned us blind? Are we more than numbers On two-tone maps for bargain hunters? Most of us dismissed the battle cries Some of us demeaned the good advice It's hard, to be more than numbers To not run to where the power wants us This morning I'm awake With my eyes on the floor I woke up on the wrong side of the war This morning I'm awake We only wanted change But now you fail to see how strange is that You've got my gold and you take it You've got my gold and you take it all, you take it all You've got my gold and you take it You've got my gold and you take it all, you take it all Don't judge the people Chasing matter in space Feels so cold and bare Don't leave your souls out there We're brave We fight for our truth But the truth doesn't care Our gods don't reply and Look here we are crying This morning I'm awake With my eyes on the floor I woke up on the wrong side of the war This morning I'm awake We only wanted change But now you fail to see how strange is that You've got my gold and you take it You've got my gold and you take it all, you take it all You've got my gold and you take it You've got my gold and you take it all, you take it all You've got my gold and you take it You've got my gold You've got my gold and you take it all You've got my gold and you take it You've got my gold You've got my gold and you take it all You take it all You take it all You take it all This morning It's still war and I'm awake Our attention spans Fill their hands with all the gold we make We know it We've been told a thousand times It's easier to sell, let's yell One more battle cry (Woke up on this side of all the war) (I thought it's got to be a joke) (We try to be more than numbers) (Not afraid to face it all out there) (We're brave)
