Lyrics

There's a mountain and it's mighty high
U cannot see the top unless u fly
And there's a molehill of proven ground
There ain't no where 2 go if u hang around

Everybody wants 2 sell what's already been sold
Everybody wants 2 tell what's already been told
What's the use of money if u ain't gonna break the mold?
Even at the center of fire there is cold
All that glitters ain't gold
All that glitters ain't gold, mmm

There's an ocean of despair
There are people livin' there
They're unhappy each and every day
But hell is not fashion so what u tryin' 2 say?

Everybody wants 2 sell what's already been sold
Everybody wants 2 tell what's already been told
What's the use of money if u ain't gonna break the mold?
Even at the center of fire there is cold
All that glitters ain't gold, no no
All that glitters ain't gold, no no

There's a lady, 99 years old
If she led a good life, heaven takes her soul
Now that's a theory and if u don't wanna know
Step aside and make a way 4 those who want 2 go

Everybody wants 2 sell what's already been sold (sold)
Everybody wants 2 tell what's already been told (told)
What's the use of bein' young if u ain't gonna get old? (old)
Even at the center of fire there is cold (cold)
All that glitters (glitters) ain't gold, no no no no no
All that glitters ain't gold
Alright

All that glitters, all that glitters, all that glitters.. ain't gold

Na na na na na na na (gold {x4})
Na na na na na na na (gold {x4})
Gold, gold, gold
All that glitters ain't gold, gold, gold
All that glitters ain't gold, gold, gold (na na na na na na na)
All that glitters ain't gold, gold, gold (na na na na na na na)
All that glitters ain't gold, oh
Oh yeah
1 2.. 1 2 3, let's go!

(Na na na na na na na) {repeat}

U are now an official member of the new power generation
Welcome 2 the dawn
