Fool's Gold from Sunbleach by Nick Costa

Everybody’s listening to tired voices
Some don’t have much to say
Some are really showing their truest colors
They’re tone-deaf, but hey, they’re getting paid

Well, you can hate all you want but you carry it with you
Yeah, you can say what you want but your words hold weight
Yeah, you can pray for your traditions on your knees
You can pay in fool’s gold for heaven’s entry fees
You can take all you want, but you can’t take it with you

Some of us wake up every morning
Wondering what we’re gonna see today
And others get riled without a warning
Like those mascots are their only friends

Well, you can hate all you want but you carry it with you
Yeah, you can say what you want but your words hold weight
Yeah, you can pray for your traditions on your knees
You can pay in fool’s gold for heaven’s entry fees
You can take all you want, but you can’t take it with you
