Fool's Gold
These streets are debilitating
This city devours souls
Leaves us tangled in the concrete
Leaves us strangled in its chokehold
These people have a personal vendetta
Against anything that's real
They'll do anything to create an illusion
Do anything to conceal
All the emptiness, the vacuous cavity
Beneath a pretty face
All the pettiness, the festering depravity
Capped under an image of grace
We have lost our faith in humanity
And there is no questioning why
There's nothing that I see here worth saving
It took my life but I won't cry
I'd abandon it all without a tearful goodbye
All that glitters in this town
Never believe what you're told
All that glitters in this town
Too frequently is fool's gold
Something in the air tonight
I almost forget where I am
The future expands, the stars align
And I begin to believe again
There's something in the air tonight
Something will carry me through
And when you're standing by my side
I know I've found the one thing that's true
Distortions have no power over me now
The image warps against a torn facade now
Distortions have no power over me now
The image warps against a torn facade now
Something in the air tonight
Something will carry me through
And when you're standing by my side
I know I've found the one thing that's true
Something in the air tonight
I begin to believe again
The future expands, the stars align
I almost forget where I am
All that glitters in this town
Never believe what you're told
All that glitters in this town
Too frequently is fool's gold
All that glitters in this town
Never believe what you're told
All that glitters in this town
Too frequently is fool's gold
This city devours souls
Leaves us tangled in the concrete
Leaves us strangled in its chokehold
These people have a personal vendetta
Against anything that's real
They'll do anything to create an illusion
Do anything to conceal
All the emptiness, the vacuous cavity
Beneath a pretty face
All the pettiness, the festering depravity
Capped under an image of grace
We have lost our faith in humanity
And there is no questioning why
There's nothing that I see here worth saving
It took my life but I won't cry
I'd abandon it all without a tearful goodbye
All that glitters in this town
Never believe what you're told
All that glitters in this town
Too frequently is fool's gold
Something in the air tonight
I almost forget where I am
The future expands, the stars align
And I begin to believe again
There's something in the air tonight
Something will carry me through
And when you're standing by my side
I know I've found the one thing that's true
Distortions have no power over me now
The image warps against a torn facade now
Distortions have no power over me now
The image warps against a torn facade now
Something in the air tonight
Something will carry me through
And when you're standing by my side
I know I've found the one thing that's true
Something in the air tonight
I begin to believe again
The future expands, the stars align
I almost forget where I am
All that glitters in this town
Never believe what you're told
All that glitters in this town
Too frequently is fool's gold
All that glitters in this town
Never believe what you're told
All that glitters in this town
Too frequently is fool's gold
