The clock ticks loud in the hollow room Where the work playing on the CEO's tune Another soul sold for a golden name Playing the game, drowning in shame Whispers rise through the cubicle maze Knives in the back for the corporate raise Smiles are sharp like a polished lie Climbing the ladder, stepping on high Oh, the money sings a hollow song But the heart just withers before too long What's the cost of the throne you chase? A soul erased, a stolen grace Golden chains, they shine so bright Binding souls in the endless fight Every handshake hides a gun In this masquerade, all wants to be a number one The boardroom lights burn cold and white Deals are sealed in the dead of night Promises made, but they're built to break Another name on the take, another stake The coffee's bitter, the air is thin Another dollar, another sin They trade their dreams for a corner suite But the victory's sour, the taste is deceit Oh, the money sings a hollow song But the heart just withers before too long What's the cost of the throne you chase? A soul erased, a stolen grace Golden chains, they shine so bright Binding souls in the endless fight Every handshake hides a gun In this masquerade, all wants to be a number one Watch a bump bump bump bump bump Bump bump bump bump bump bump All wants to be a number one Watch a bump bump bump bump bump Bump bump bump bump bump bump All wants to be a number one
