Lyrics

You promised the Moon on a stick 
You offered such wealth 
I can see right through: it's a trick 
You're toying with my health 

All is fair in love and in war 
Have you no remorse 
I can't tell what's real any more 
I have to stay the course 

If I am young, I'm old 
I'll have to buy what is sold 
Left out in the cold 
With your fool's gold 

Another lie upon a lie 
Leaving me asking why 
Isn't anyone gonna walk on by 
And hold you accountable this time 

Smoke and mirrors, not without consequence 
I'll reserve judgement, but I'm not on the fence 
The situation couldn't be more tense 
That's just two pence 

If I am young, I'm old 
I'll have to buy what is sold 
Left out in the cold 
With your fool's gold 

Stay behind 
Clean up your mess 
This is what you must address 
But I watch your egress 
Typical 

If I am young, I'm old 
I'll have to buy what is sold 
Left out in the cold 
With your fool's gold 

If I am young, I'm old 
I'll have to buy what is sold 
Left out in the cold 
With your fool's gold
