[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]
