Rob Nelson - Gold Standard lyrics
rate meDaddy said she's pretty, bought her diamond jewelry<br />
Got her a horse on a satin lead<br />
Now those younger seeds have grown into weeds<br />
Of Prada, Wang, Philipe, Cartier and Gulfstream<br />
<br />
Gold is the standard<br />
Gold is the reason<br />
Gold are the bricks<br />
That built this prison<br />
<br />
Private school 'til eighteen, coming out at nineteen<br />
After that nothing could turn her head<br />
Cars and men are upgrades, the same old parade<br />
The static death of days lived in the shade<br />
<br />
Gold is the standard<br />
Gold is the reason<br />
Gold are the bricks<br />
That built this prison<br />
<br />
Gold is the standard<br />
The streaming banner<br />
But all those flags<br />
Get blown to rags<br />
<br />
Now she's started running, furious globe trotting<br />
Power plays and parties, Pinot on the roof<br />
A life at light-speed that never knows need<br />
A heart encased in metal is burglar-proof<br />
<br />
Gold is the standard<br />
Gold is the reason<br />
Gold are the bricks<br />
That built this prison
