Lyrics
When money doesn't matter anymore
Will we walk in the same circles as before
Will we wipe away the tarnish on the faces that we wore
When money doesn't matter anymore
When power doesn't open any doors
And it's all the same, the president, the Joneses and the poor
Will we climb the cliffs of stature as we've always done before
When power doesn't open any doors
All the kings and queens who made it
Gold and silver, eyes all jaded
It's all a part of a masquerade, going on too long
Jeweled illusions complicate this madness that we celebrate
More or less it all relates and everything's all wrong
When luxury don't mean a thing to me
Will my shackled spirit finally be set free
Or will I join a line of lemmings leaping to the sea
When luxury don't mean a thing to me
All the kings and queens who made it
Gold and silver, eyes all jaded
It's all a part of a masquerade, going on too long
Jeweled illusions complicate this madness that we celebrate
More or less it all relates and everything's all wrong
