Where Are the Stars?

This is not how it happens
This is not how it goes
See the rings on their fingers
And bells on their toes

Can you hear the music?
The song that they're singing
Can you hear the music?
Can you hear how it goes?
Or like me do you hear?
A song that nobody knows

Where are the stars?
Stars in our crown
Where are the cities made of gold?
They've been bought, and we've been sold
It's the truth that's seldom told
Where are the stars?

We believed it would happen
We believed we were free
We let it slip through our fingers
Are we too blind, to see?

Can they hear the music?
The song that we're singing
Can they hear the music?
Do they care how it goes?
They would hear if they'd listen
A song that everyone knows

Where are the stars?
Stars in our crown
Where are the cities made of gold?
They've been bought, and we've been sold
It's the truth that's seldom told
Where are the stars?

Where are the stars?
Stars in our crown
Where are the cities made of gold?
They've been bought, and we've been sold
It's the truth that's seldom told
Where are the stars?

I was there when it happened
Saw them brought to their knees
And as the mansions, they crumbled
I heard their cries and heard their pleas
And now they all point the finger
A new mission bell tolls

Crypto chains are pulling tighter
Keep the FOMO on their toes
They're all scared of getting cancelled
Masks and Bloody Memes conceal control
We're all wrapped around the fingers
These winners of souls

Can they hear the music?
The song we're all singing
We can make the music
Really care how it goes
Sing it loud let them hear
A song that everyone knows

Where are the stars?
Stars in our crown
Where are the cities made of gold?
They've been bought, and we've been sold
It's the truth that's seldom told
Where are the stars?
The stars in our crown
Where are the cities made of gold?
They've been bought, and we've been sold
It's the truth that's seldom told
Where are the stars?

This is not how it happens
This is not how it goes
