Silver and Gold Lyrics

We have been manipulated since day one
"buy this buy that, you f****** need this"
Our heads rewired to want more and more
Materialistic sheep unaware of our fleece
We are disconnected
The world got too big for us to care
Our hearts grew small and we discovered greed
and now we fill our lives with objects we don't need

So we take and we take and give nothing back
to a world that can't withstand much more
Herded into thinking that what we own defines who we are
Chained down in gold and silver
Luxuries with no purpose
but to keep us feeling incomplete
I refuse to be repressed by what I possess

I won't be
We won't be defined by our wealth
We won't be clouded by material gain
We won't be coerced into indifference
We won't be the ones to seek fortune over love
