A powerful anthem for the disenfranchised, this song resonates with anyone who's ever felt left behind in a world dominated by wealth and power.
Verse 1:
In a world of gold and silver lines,
Where the rich just keep on finding signs,
Fortune smiles upon them all,
While the rest of us just stumble and fall.
Chorus:
Billionaires run the world, it’s true,
But what about the me and you?
With their mansions and their private jets,
We’re left behind, full of regrets.
Verse 2:
They dine on dreams while we get crumbs,
Chasing shadows, lost in the sums,
With every fleeting wish we make,
The futures fade, and hearts just break.
Chorus:
Billionaires run the world, it’s true,
But what about the me and you?
With their mansions and their private jets,
We’re left behind, full of regrets.
Bridge:
We’re screaming out for change, can’t you hear?
In this game of life, we’re stuck in fear,
Their power grows while we lose our voice,
When all we want is a chance, a choice.
Verse 3:
You can buy the stars, but not the skies,
No amount of gold can change the lies,
While they play their games of endless gain,
We’ll stand together, rise from the pain.
Chorus:
Billionaires run the world, it’s true,
But what about the me and you?
With their mansions and their private jets,
We’re left behind, full of regrets.
Outro:
So let’s unite and break these chains,
It’s time to fight for the love that remains,
For we hold the power in our hearts,
Together we’ll spark a brand new start.
