In a world of gold and glitter Where the rich play their own game They walk the streets, they never fritter With fortunes, they lay their claim 'Cause when you're rich, you're on a throne With the world spinning at your feet You can do what you want, all on your own In the fast lane, life is sweet They buy the time that we're all chasing With a wave, they clear their path In luxury, they're always basking Far from common folks' wrath 'Cause when you're rich, you're in the sky No chains of time, no walls to meet You can laugh, you can cry, you can live, you can fly 'Cause when you're rich, you're in the sky No chains of time, no walls to meet You can laugh, you can cry, you can live, you can fly But the towers they build, so high and grand Can't shield the heart from its own demand For the simple joy that money can't command Even the rich can't always land 'Cause when you're rich, you're on a throne With the world spinning at your feet You can do what you want, all on your own In the fast lane, life is sweet 'Cause when you're rich, you're in the sky No chains of time, no walls to meet So let's sing for the dreamers, the believers Who know life's more than gold For in the end, we're all seekers In stories yet untold
