[00:00.74]They line up in droves
[00:05.03]Bare their teeth, put on a show
[00:09.94]You're cashing on their dreams
[00:14.68]Your checkbook sights their hopes
[00:19.77]They'll bleed if you ask
[00:24.09]Stop breathing if the same
[00:28.76]You're playing with your food
[00:33.73]Reeling in your pray
[00:38.56]And it all turns gold, gold, gold
[00:43.20]Everything you lay your hand upon
[00:45.39]You know just what the people want
[00:47.68]They're sold, sold, sold
[00:52.01]Everything they have close and tied
[00:56.24]Throw away in the heat of the stage lights
[01:06.73]They're buying for your time
[01:11.60]Pressing you to hear
[01:15.71]Take advantage of the desperation
[01:20.60]Say come back in a year
[01:25.37]They put their lives on hold
[01:30.11]Finding every day
[01:34.82]So that they may return
[01:39.58]Only to be tamed away
[01:44.63]And it all turns gold, gold, gold
[01:48.11]Everything you lay your hand upon
[01:51.32]You know just what the people want
[01:54.29]They're sold, sold, sold
[01:58.22]Everything they have close and tied
[02:01.22]Throw away in the heat of the stage lights
[02:13.62]And I get that it's quite enticing
[02:16.50]The lights of the stage are so inviting
[02:22.71]But the lights are packed in, the season's over
[02:29.23]And they lost all their credibility
[02:35.82]And now they have find their new feet
[02:41.78]Kicking themselves for trying, trying to compete
[02:48.24]And it all turns gold, gold, gold
[02:52.79]Everything you lay your hand upon
[02:54.75]You know just what the people want
[02:57.79]They're sold, sold, sold
[03:02.48]Everything they have close and tied
[03:04.97]Throw away in the heat of the stage lights
[03:08.44]

They line up in droves
Bare their teeth, put on a show
You're cashing on their dreams
Your checkbook sights their hopes
They'll bleed if you ask
Stop breathing if the same
You're playing with your food
Reeling in your pray
And it all turns gold, gold, gold
Everything you lay your hand upon
You know just what the people want
They're sold, sold, sold
Everything they have close and tied
Throw away in the heat of the stage lights
They're buying for your time
Pressing you to hear
Take advantage of the desperation
Say come back in a year
They put their lives on hold
Finding every day
So that they may return
Only to be tamed away
And it all turns gold, gold, gold
Everything you lay your hand upon
You know just what the people want
They're sold, sold, sold
Everything they have close and tied
Throw away in the heat of the stage lights
And I get that it's quite enticing
The lights of the stage are so inviting
But the lights are packed in, the season's over
And they lost all their credibility
And now they have find their new feet
Kicking themselves for trying, trying to compete
And it all turns gold, gold, gold
Everything you lay your hand upon
You know just what the people want
