Fool's Gold Lyrics

All my friends are overworked and underpaid

Resigned to think that it will always be this way

The storefronts change

But our problems stay the same

And if you stay here long enough

Soon you won't recognize a face

We have been let down

By a place that never promised us a thing

For our wasted loyalty

To a city of thieves

Take it back

Take it all back

You can have your legacy

No one said you had to stay here

You could've left

You wanted this

Your captive audience awaits

But no one stays

No one stays

Borrowed time

We're here on borrowed time

The first to know

But always the last to go

But I can't take anymore

Of this revolving door

This isn't a home

This is fool's gold

We are too far gone

Desperately thought

We could make a change

But it's all too little too late

This town can't be saved

Take it back

Take it all back

You can have your legacy

No one said you had to stay here

You could've left

You wanted this

Your captive audience awaits

But no one stays

No one stays

Take what you can

And leave like all the rest

You'll be replaced

And those who stay

Will continue to bear the weight

In a land of opportunity

Borrowed time

We're all here on borrowed time

We dragged our weight in gold

And tried to call this home

But there's no golden road

And there's no place like home
