Sorry About Dresden — Going for the Gold lyrics

Lyrics

When you came here you were beautiful and broke
When did you get so bold?
Did you grow tired of stealing all your smokes?
So you’re going for the gold
You never had nothing to say, but you still spoke anyway
You wear your airs, like an accessory
You wear a crown as you hold court
You switched from switching shifts
To now you’re selling shares (of yourself)
I won’t buy, but I’ll sell you short
You’ve got keepers to keep you awake and keepers to keep you away
From the suits who record and parlay
The price you’ll eventually pay, hey, hey
Now you’re going for the gold
Every shaking hand is a chance to make your break
It’s all in who you know, you know
But every open hand is surely on the take
It won’t take too long to show
You find fashionable friends to replace
The ones you spit out like tired clichés
Keep a list of your every lay
And it reads like a resume
