You could take the moon and put it on a stage for her Who knew a heart could be stolen with a handkerchief When you live looking down in the city from your penthouse suite We must all spoil the view of your kingdom as we slave for you And should I feel sorry for you with your million pounds? Did they not love you enough to give you two? People know that you're rich 'cause you're sweating silver and gold Drinking diamonds by the bottle while the nations topple Glazed grey eyes can hardly see Mind is locked in apathy Wrapped up tight in your cocoon Warm and safe with lots of room Children starve while you sleep Through the shadows killers creep Wait in silence as they pass Don't let out a single gasp I could take the moon and blow it to pieces for her And make a new one from the debris of a howling storm I am noise, I am light, I shine like a harnessed sun In the dark of night who do you illuminate I feel so sorry for you with your million pounds Oh they loved you enough to give you two?! People know that you're rich cause your tears are silver and gold And they make you weep, just so they can eat All people want is silver and gold You stay out of the light so they don't eat you whole They don't even think they just do as they're told Do as you're told You live more in a minute than a hundred year old But even with that wealth you're lifeless and cold Guess there are some things money can't solve Money can't solve All people want is silver and gold You stay out of the light so they don't eat you whole They don't even think they just do as they're told Do as you're told What'd you got?
