D'oro
By Mila
Gold
(Boo)
What do you mean
That money makes you happy?
King Midas forgot to mention
That he never learned to value his own fortune
Not to mention the attention
So fleeting is its intention
The side effect creates dependency
Withdrawal syndrome, early signs of madness
Rubies with zero carats
Collector of fake diamonds
Replicas, mimics, imitations
In exchange for flattery
If what I touch turned to gold
Nothing would be more than a craving
Fame is so expensive for what you sacrifice
Every price you pay shortens your life
The glass slipper can break, shatter
Gold will (gold will), gold will rust you
It'll cloud your (it'll cloud your)
Judgment, you'll lose
Front page, dressed to the nines
Thousands of trophies for not being so MA - LA
A person dedicated to (uh-huh) philanthropy
Are you sure the cameras are on?
Rubies with zero carats
Collector of fake diamonds
Replicas, mimics, imitations
In exchange for flattery
If what I touch turned to gold
Nothing would be more than a craving
Fame is so expensive for what you sacrifice
Every price you pay shortens your life
The crown can fall
Are you sure you can live without anyone at your feet?
Without reverence, without riches
Do you need anesthesia?
Materialist
You're crossed off the list
Bought a couple of treats
Received the minimum dose
Of serotonin
No trace of dopamine
Not even the finest jewel
Takes you to the top, babe
Materialist
Wasting your days
For a couple of treats
Received the minimum dose
And there's no serotonin
Much less dopamine
Not even the finest jewel
Shines when you're ashes, babe
If what I touch turned to gold
Nothing would be more than a craving
Fame is so expensive for what you sacrifice
Every price you pay shortens your life
