Golden

How cruel is the golden rule

When the lives we lived are only golden plated?

And I knew the lights of the city

Were too heavy for me

Though I carried carats for everyone to see

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies

And all the lovers with no time for me

And all of the mothers raise their babies

To stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams

Where the sewage of youth

Drowned the spark of my teens

And I knew that the lights of the city

Were too heavy for me (Too heavy for me)

Though I carried carats for everyone to see (Everyone to see)

And I saw God cry in the reflection of my enemies

And all the lovers with no time for me

And all of the mothers raise their babies

To stay away from me

And pray they don't grow up to be me
