about

Capitalism and neoliberal politics got you down friend? Me too, although I'd probably have worded these lyrics differently now. I don't agree with the things I said/ranted about in this song nowadays (it's been nearly eight years), still pretty cool track though.

lyrics

And no, I never needed a credit card
To talk to a woman before
My pockets emptying at a rate of knots
Just to satisfy you

It seems the world has gone insane
Everyone here all plays this game
Getting all the green that you can find
I'm so glad I'm colourblind

And if you want more, murder and lie
Kill all the people and watch as they die
Nothing will ever change at all
Will we continue to fall?

All gold is fool's gold to me, and I can see
People all lie and cheat and steal, and nobody's real
All gold is fool's gold to me, and you will see
Lying and cheating and stealing, and no one is feeling

Prepare yourself for a system failure, 'cause
Nothing this stupid was meant to survive
Everybody's running in circles, and
Nobody just lives out their lives

Falling down a deeper and deeper hole
Just because you're too proud to crawl
And everybody wants to get somewhere
But they don't even know where they are

And if you want more, embezzle and whore
Make some decisions, don't care what they're for
And at this point will we continue to change, or
Will we continue to fall?

All gold is fool's gold to me, and I can see
People all lie and cheat and steal, and nobody's real
All gold is fool's gold to me, and you will see
Lying and cheating and stealing, and no one is feeling

Gotta get some money, don't really care how
Gotta get some money, and then I'm breaking out

All gold is fool's gold to me, and I can see
People all lie and cheat and steal, and nobody's real
All gold is fool's gold to me, and you will see
Lying and cheating and stealing, and no one is feeling
