Dragonfly - Gold Standard lyrics

rate me

Daddy said she's pretty, bought her diamond jewelry

Got her a horse on a satin lead

Now those younger seeds have grown into weeds

Of Prada, Wang, Philipe, Cartier and Gulfstream

Gold is the standard

Gold is the reason

Gold are the bricks

That built this prison

Private school 'til eighteen, coming out at nineteen

After that nothing could turn her head

Cars and men are upgrades, the same old parade

The static death of days lived in the shade

Gold is the standard

Gold is the reason

Gold are the bricks

That built this prison

Gold is the standard

The streaming banner

But all those flags

Get blown to rags

Now she's started running, furious globe trotting

Power plays and parties, Pinot on the roof

A life at light-speed that never knows need

A heart encased in metal is burglar-proof

Gold is the standard

Gold is the reason

Gold are the bricks

That built this prison<br />

<br />
