[Verse 1] Billboards burn in the neon rain, empty carts in a hollow mall. Kids trade dreams for barcode ghosts, screens stay cold while the fields all fall. Rust on the ribs of abandoned steel, skies turned numb from a thousand lies. Plastic tides on a choking shore, old codes drift where the wild died. [Chorus] You can't eat the money, you can't drink the cold gold. When the soil stops breathing, what will you hold in the dark? You can't eat the money, you can't bite the dead stone. When the rivers run empty, you dine on your throne alone. [Verse 2] Glass towers cracking from the inside, shares rise up while the bees collapse. Concrete scars over sacred ground, every breath tastes like burning ash. Toxic rain on a cardboard home, sirens drone in fluorescent halls. Fast-food gods on a fading sign, “Buy more, be more” as the backbone falls. [Bridge] Will you taste your credit cards when your tongue is made of dust? Will your children chew on contracts, call it love, call it trust? [Chorus] You can't eat the money, you can't drink the cold gold. When the soil stops breathing, what will you hold in the dark? You can't eat the money, you can't bite the dead stone. When the rivers run empty, you dine on your throne alone.
