Gold Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've got it in the palm of your hands
It's slipping through your fingers like sand
Cause they don't understand who you are
Does't matter long as I am your star, star
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah I know that I need the gold
But what I love can't be bought or sold
[Chorus 1]
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I need what I used to need
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I see what I used to see
[Verse 2]
I've been waiting, waiting for the penny to drop
I've been working, working to get back what I lost
But whatever happens I'll be okay
Cause fortune's running out of my veins
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm coming for you like a Greek gold rush
Cause girls they wanna, they just wanna have fund$
[Chorus 2]
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I need what I used to need
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I see what I used to see
In El Dorado your gold
To Colorado can't be bought or sold
[Bridge]
Now there's no moral to this story
But I can hear my freedom calling me, calling me
[Chorus 2]
[Alternative Chorus]
I don't care that everybody knows
I'm a million dollars in the hole
I don't care that everybody knows
Baby I don't even want your gold
From El Dorado, your gold
To Colorado can't be bought or sold
Gold Rush
Gold Rush
Free, I am free
You've got it in the palm of your hands
It's slipping through your fingers like sand
Cause they don't understand who you are
Does't matter long as I am your star, star
Yeah I know that I need the gold
But what I love can't be bought or sold
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I need what I used to need
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I see what I used to see
I've been waiting, waiting for the penny to drop
I've been working, working to get back what I lost
But whatever happens I'll be okay
Cause fortune's running out of my veins
I'm coming for you like a Greek gold rush
Cause girls they wanna, they just wanna have fund$
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I need what I used to need
Don't think I want what I used to want
Don't think I see what I used to see
In El Dorado your gold
To Colorado can't be bought or sold
Now there's no moral to this story
But I can hear my freedom calling me, calling me
I don't care that everybody knows
I'm a million dollars in the hole
I don't care that everybody knows
Baby I don't even want your gold
From El Dorado, your gold
To Colorado can't be bought or sold
Gold Rush
Gold Rush
Free, I am free

This song is about freedom from an empty desire and going after morally,personally fulfilling things instead. :)
I think this song is incredible, esp after Electra Heart when it was all about doing ANYTHING to be wanted, even to be the bad guy. It's about casting off things for other people, earning things and feeling worthwhile for yourself
