Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a mountain

And it's mighty high

You cannot see the top

Unless you fly

And there's a molehill

Of proven ground

There ain't nowhere to go

If you hang around

[Verse 2]

Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold

Everybody wants to tell what's already been told

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold?

Even at the center of the fire

There is cold

All that glitters ain't gold

All that glitters ain't gold

Mmm

[Verse 3]

There's an ocean

Of despair

There are people

Livin' there

They're unhappy

In each and every day

But hell is not fashion

So, whatcha tryna say?

[Verse 4]

Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold

Everybody wants to tell what's already been told

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold?

Even at the center of the fire

There is cold

All that glitters ain't gold

No, no

All that glitters ain't gold

No, no

[Verse 5]

There's a lady

Ninety nine years old

If she led a good life

Heaven takes her soul

Now that's a theory

And if you don't wanna know

Step aside and make a way for those who want to go

[Verse 6]

Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold

(Sold)

Everybody wants to tell what's already been told

(Told)

What's the use of being young if you ain't gonna get old?

(Old)

Even at the center of the fire

There is cold

(Cold)

All that glitters (Glitters) ain't gold

No, no, no

No, no

All that glitters ain't gold

Whoo!

[Verse 7]

All that glitters

All that glitters

All that glitters

Ain't gold

[Verse 8]

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

All that glitters ain't

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

All that glitters ain't

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

All that glitters ain't

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Oh, oh, oh, oh

No, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

All that glitters ain't gold

Oh, oh

Oh, yeah

[Verse 9]

One!

Two!

One, two, three, four!

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

(You are now an official member of the new power generation)

(Welcome to the dawn)

[Verse 10]

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

All that glitters ain't gold

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

All that glitters ain't gold

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

All that glitters ain't

All that glitters, all that glitters ain't gold

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

All that glitters ain't

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

All that glitters ain't gold

Na, na, na, na, na, na
