Fool's Gold

lyrics

this bureaucracy
yeah it gets to me
feels like i'm sitting
in a prison
while i'm free to leave
white washed dreams, so clean
dreams this distant
seem too voluntary
un-coerced
to question foolish schemed

now i've got to choose
can i trust these views?
now i've got to choose

one day soon, i'm told
we'll be much too old
to do anything but
fit the mould
feelings bought and sold
the whole world put
on hold
and that's what comfort's called
because we're controlled
this is nothing new,
because nothing's new
this is what you need
and this is what we need from you
this is getting old,
i know we've all been told
that growing up is necessary
and that we'd grow to learn
it's eating me alive
it's burning up inside us all
