Buried in Gold
Gold gold gold everything is gold Every hand that touches it is beautiful and cold Gold gold gold watch it multiply Everything appreciates until the people die It starts with something small you keep a little on the side You're married to the money now the money's got a bride You swore it was for safety but the safe is where it lives The richer that it gets the less the rich has left to give The yield was just a whisper now the yield is a command The market's in your veins now and the veins are in your hand You don't invest in futures man the future's in the stock And every tick is ticking like a time bomb or a clock Gold gold gold everything is gold Every hand that touches it is beautiful and cold Gold gold gold watch it multiply Everything appreciates until the people die The gross keeps getting grosser and the net keeps getting tighter The capital is capital the punishment gets lighter The bonds you hold are bonds you broke the interest never waivers The currency is current till the current pulls you under You liquidate the competition call it market correction The equity was never equal that's the beauty of the term The dividends divide us and the shareholders confirm The appreciation's mutual right until the market turns Gold gold gold everything is gold Every hand that touches it is beautiful and cold Gold gold gold watch it multiply Everything appreciates until the people die Your worth is what you're worth and what you're worth is what you earn The value of a value system watch it crash and burn The principal's the principle they taught you this in school The rate at which you're rated is the rate at which you burn Default is not a failure it's the setting that they chose They leveraged your living till the living was a ledge And the only ones with hedges are the ones who built the maze And you're still running through it thinking someday it'll end Gold gold gold everything is gold Every hand that touches it is beautiful and cold Gold gold gold watch it multiply Everything appreciates until the people die The fortune was your fortune and the fortune was your fate The fortune teller told you but the fortune couldn't wait The fortune was your making and the fortune was your fall They buried you in gold And gold Was allBack to Monuments
