You were born and raised a fortunate son Your daddy bought you all the good you have You've never lost to know you've never won But copper is gold inside a beggar's hands But you don't understand that So, while you're living it up Your heart gets vandalized and stranded Oh, by the people you love They took your money and they ran with it But shine, shine, shine How your silver shines, shines, shines How your silver shines All your friends, they lay your pillows down So they can rob you while you sleep And when you're dead and frozen in the ground Who's gonna stick around to keep your grave clean Why can't you see that Oh, while you're living it up Your heart gets vandalized and stranded Oh, by the people you love They took your money and they ran with it But shine, shine, shine How your silver shines, shines, shines How your silver shines, shines, shines How your silver shines, shines, shines How your silver shines Oh, how your silver shines their sweet veneer In all the comforts and their phoney tears Oh, while you're living it up Your heart gets vandalized and stranded Oh, by the people you love They took your money and they ran with it Oh, while you're living it up Your heart gets vandalized and stranded Oh, by the people you love They took your money and they ran with it How your silver shines, shines, shines
