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
