Lyrics
Well, the streets swell up and they don't stop swelling Wealth rules the game and keeps on spreading Didn't expect to watch hope unfurl Your coin piles high but the world gets hurled So much to take, nothing to give So what's wrong with trying to really live? In this concrete maze, where greed's the king Flashing lights that blind, and cash registers sing Chasing paper dreams that the wind just stole Dancing through the night, but they've sold their soul [Pre-Chorus] Mirror balls spin, but the truth can't hide A glitzy façade, with a dark side Pinstripe suits that hide the claws Power plays behind closed doors The rich get fat while the poor just bleed Velvet lies that the crowds believe Now the city screams, but it's just white noise Broken dreams, and the same old ploys Fancy cars, drive through the night (drive on) With empty hearts, they chase delight (never right) Neon signs, they promise much (promise much) But in the end, they're out of touch (so out of touch) [Pre-Chorus] So we dance away the pain, hide the tears in the rain A glittering masquerade, in a world that's got it made
