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)
