Paint it With Gold


Let's take it back to the gilded age Objects painted to appear as gold Some, cardboard, tables, you name it The rich living on top of the world, at the expense of the poor man A worthless piece of shit, disguised as gold Welcome to my gilded age I paint myself with gold Each laugh, a cry for help Each smile, an attempt to hide my tears I hide the fact that I am a piece of shit Let's paint it with gold And pretend everything is okay Call it our Little Gilded Age
