Everything is Golden

from Good Fights by Good Fights

lyrics

Bright and early, 7:30
Maybe today you'll see the sun
Save your soul time, 9:45
Learning, being, leaves no room for fun,

Kid, everything is golden
Ready to be sold
Just wait until you see it shine

Look at yourself, quarter past twelve
Don't let others leave you in the dust
I volunteer you, one is near
The time is running out, do what you must

To end up in the papers
Instead of owing favors
You're statistically great

Applications done by 8
Unless you're sure you want to live in
A cardboard box, it's 10 o'clock
And soon this open door is sliding closed,

Kid, gold will be worth nothing
By the time the night's out
Then it's your turn to clean up

The end is in sight, just past midnight
Coffee, money, there's no time to rest
A stable life, son, on the horizon
Suns don't rise without a little help

Soon you'll have one or two
Investments in the future
And you'll thank me for this then.

(Fighting societies built on blood and shiny things
Demanding the trees that you've owed us from birth
Armed with a sharpened stick stolen from the government
If paper means nothing, then what are you worth?

Armed with a sharpened stick, stolen from the government,
When paper means nothing what will you be worth?)
