Trading life for shiny tokens
Locking dreams inside a vault
Clock ticks by while hopes are broken
Chains of gold it's all our fault
Metal binds and paper rules
Running circles life's cruel tool
Empty pockets empty souls
Chasing riches digging holes
Nine to five we're sold and bought
Pay the price of freedom's loss
Can't recall the dreams we've sought
Stand in line at every cost
Metal binds and paper rules
Running circles life's cruel tool
Empty pockets empty souls
Chasing riches digging holes
Mirrors show a haunted face
Mind's entrapped in golden lace
What we sought now seems so waste
Hollow laugh with bitter taste
Metal binds and paper rules
Running circles life's cruel tool
Empty pockets empty souls
Chasing riches digging holes
