Fool's Gold

Dawning of another day, the sun beats down my back
Leave behind my only home, self respect is the only thing I lack
I wander my earth, I get the same stares like I'm a beast
Born into frail society where the lies breed and feast

Departed from myself, death doesn't scare me
So why should anything else?
Asking myself the same damned questions day by day
Still wandering, call me a nomad
The media exploits me, but offers me no place to stay
If I bring in the story of your lives
How sorrowful it is, when you'll lose a dollar when I die

Death comes with a price, so under appreciated when we leave
But the profit they make from us when we die rises
Don't call us human, we're better known as thieves
I know better then to do every single thing you please

Your insecurities I leave behind
Tonight I'll be parting my ways with my past life
To backtrack every moment in my time and try to settle it right

I live in the mud under your luxury
I'm the outcast of your newly bound supremacy
The high horse you rode in on is bound to fall
And to us outcasts we knew it all along
When social barriers collide
One of us is bound to be hung from the wall

Knife in hand sitting at a full table
Wouldn't you ever wonder how it would be
If one day you would lose it all
Your riches may keep you happy
But over time luxury becomes it's worth in fool's gold

Remember when you beat us outcasts down
We have to tread the battered earth
Sponge up water in our bodies
So that way, you with class don't have to drown

Your insecurities I leave behind
Tonight I'll be parting my ways with my past life
To backtrack every moment in my time and try to settle it right

I live in the mud under your luxury
I'm the outcast of your newly bound supremacy
The high horse you rode in on is bound to fall
And to us outcasts we knew it all along
When social barriers collide
One of us is bound to be hung from the wall

Only a fool places his trust in gold
If it shimmers it is bound to shatter
One day you'll lose it all
Lose it all, you'll lose it all
