Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A sellout is someone who becomes a hypocrite in the name of money
An idiot is someone who let's their education do all of their thinking
A phoney is someone who demands respect
From the principles they affect
A dilettante is someone who can't tell the difference
Between fashion and style
Charisma is exquisite manipulation and money is the sandpit of the soul
Money is the sandpit of the soul
Money is the sandpit of the soul
Money is the sandpit of the soul
[Verse 2]
Tailored dreams of having it all
She documents an essence in a bathroom stall
An empty chair marks an empty occasion
The empty glass is ringing all across the nation
All across the nation
All across the nation
All across the nation
[Verse 3]
Well, the suits are running and it won't be long
Until the blues cop what's really going on
Said the suits are running and it won't be long
Until the blues cop what's really going on
What's really going on
What's really going on
What's really going on
What's really going
[Verse 4]
What's really going on
What's really going on
What's really going on
What's really going
What's really going on
What's really going on
What's really going on
