lyrics

Gold

Take every ounce of your treasure
Turn it all into gold
All your money and investments
All that tarnishes your soul

Take the gold back where it came from
Dredged up mines and dug up earth
Bury it deep down in that hole there
Everything that you are worth

‘Cause I don't buy it
Not for a minute
Always growing
No upward limit
Ain't nothin' crashin'
Ain't nothin' to see here
Move along now
Not supposed to be here

Yeah, well, I've found my riches
And I'm just gonna give it all away

You keep watching all the wells dry
How much water do you need
When you're gone the lawn grows greener
You'll be buried underneath

You keep praying to your rain god
To shower you with love
Maybe she can't hear you
Maybe there's nothing up above

But I don't buy it
Not for a minute
Always growing
No upward limit
Ain't nothin' crashin'
Ain't nothin' to see here
Move along now
Not supposed to be here

Yeah, well, I've found my riches
And I'm just gonna give it all away

I've been hiding all my wealth here
In curios and dust
Attaching all my values
And watching it all rust

I can't hold back any longer
The dam's about to bust
Gonna throw it all in the ocean
In God They Say We Trust

But I don't buy it
Not for a minute
Always growing
No upward limit
Ain't nothin' crashin'
Ain't nothin' to see here
Move along now
Not supposed to be here

Yeah, well, I've found my riches
And I'm just gonna give it all away
