[Verse] Money swore nothing but bought every fight Tossed in the ring like it knew what was right Coins hit the ground and the sound felt cold Promises whispered but none took hold [Chorus] Money swore nothing Nothing at all Shiny lies stacked up Ready to fall You can buy the stage But not the song Money swore nothing And it’s been wrong [Verse 2] Paper dreams folded into a plane Flying so high but it crashes in vain Gold-plated chains that rust in the rain You can’t hold the wind or bottle the pain [Prechorus] Empty pockets hum a truer tune Under the sun or a paper moon [Chorus] Money swore nothing Nothing at all Shiny lies stacked up Ready to fall You can buy the stage But not the song Money swore nothing And it’s been wrong [Bridge] Green ghosts linger Haunt the night But they can’t outshine a heart’s own light Every dollar’s just a broken kite Caught in the storm Out of sight
