lyrics

It's hard when you're made out of gold
'Cause you don't know the worth, and it's just getting harder to hold
And you see all the poverty, and how they're all in such need
But you're just too damn kind to look back and say "Don't count on me."

They'll start counting the second you walk by
The second that you die
And there won't be anyone to rely on
Just your own shoulder to cry on
And they'll be up searching all night long
For the wealth they once relied on
The Pennies lead back to you
Always do

They say you lost your own life
'Cause you gave it away to the greedy 'cause they won't survive
And you ask for some water, but all they give you is some ice
'Cause they know there's a chance you could choke,
But nobody would mind

They'll start counting the second you walk by
The second that you die
And there won't be anyone to rely on
Just your own shoulder to cry on
And they'll be up searching all night long
For the wealth they once relied on
The Pennies lead back to you
Always do

I'm staring at your feet
They should be withered away from the miles you've walked, you see
Hundreds of screams, yet, you're still not crying

The second you walk by
The second that you die I will cry, I will try not to cry

To rely on
Just your own shoulder to cry on
And they'll be up searching all night long
For the wealth they once relied on
The Pennies lead back to you
Always do
