This gold bar will oxidize more Rusting onto my hand There is blood on this marble floor Stained glass windows are only sand There is a crown split in four There are holes in the door And this is the life you call luxury? You made these diamonds with chemicals And try to bribe me with emeralds But I will not let them touch me What turns to ash? What turns to fame? What is cash? What is a name? Our lights are as bright as gold Twinkling stars over my head They turn green, turn to mold I turn to hope instead

Blood On A Marble Floor
This gold bar will oxidize more Rusting onto my hand There is blood on this marble floor Stained glass windows are only sand There is a crown split in four There are holes in the door And this is the life you call luxury? You made these diamonds with chemicals And try to bribe me with emeralds But I will not let them touch me What turns to ash? What turns to fame? What is cash? What is a name? Our lights are as bright as gold Twinkling stars over my head They turn green, turn to mold I turn to hope instead
