Empire of Money (2021 Mix)
Here comes that sinking feeling
In the stomach and the mind.
The more you let your hopes up
The further you're behind.
You listened to their promises
Their story and their song.
You thought you'd really get somewhere,
And everything's now gone.
They fooled you once
They fooled you twice.
There's no such thing as paradise
You bought the dream in the empire of money.
You bought the dream
You paid the price
There's no such thing as paradise
They fooled you twice in the empire of money.
Here's that sinking feeling
The feeling you've been had.
The solid opportunities, each one has turned out bad.
They played upon your dreams
The feelings were so true.
You took them at their word, they turned the failure back on you.
Here comes that sinking feeling
In the stomach and the mind.
You can't out-scheme the schemers
When you buy into the empire of money.
Here comes that sinking feeling
In the stomach and the mind.
The more you let your hopes up
The further you're behind.
You listened to their promises
Their story and their song.
You thought you'd really get somewhere,
And everything's now gone.
They fooled you once
They fooled you twice.
There's no such thing as paradise
You bought the dream in the empire of money.
You bought the dream
You paid the price
There's no such thing as paradise
They fooled you twice in the empire of money.
Here's that sinking feeling
The feeling you've been had.
The solid opportunities, each one has turned out bad.
They played upon your dreams
The feelings were so true.
You took them at their word, they turned the failure back on you.
