Imitation Gold

Imitation Gold

1. Imitation Gold

Imitation Gold

(verse 1)

it sure brightly glimmers

but is not real gold

it's not even semi-precious

but it is treacherous

be the carat in front of my face

make me feel poor, put me in my place

when I try to go at my own pace

be the rival that makes me speed up

I'm just a lowly miner, and you're the rich owner

at the bottom of the totem pole

at least I still have my soul

(chorus)

ah ah ah

imitation gold

ah ah ah

it's all fake but still gets sold

ah ah ah

imitation gold

you fetch a high price

with your branding and lies

your right love is all wrong

your legal practices are illegal

your side of the street is all dirty

your straight and narrow is all twisted

apologies, I'm driving forward

while you're flying in reverse backwards

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I'm sorry that it had to be this way

in business meetings, I don't come to play

because I get that good CEO pay

you're a mom and pop operation

and I'm a Fortune 500 corporation

nothing personal I just don't put up with betrayal

(chorus)

ah ah ah

imitation gold

ah ah ah

it's all fake but still gets sold

ah ah ah

imitation gold

you fetch a high price

with your branding and lies

your right love is all wrong

your legal practices are illegal

your side of the street is all dirty

your straight and narrow is all twisted

apologies, I'm driving forward

while you're flying in reverse backwards

(end chorus)

(chorus)

ah ah ah

imitation gold

ah ah ah

it's all fake but still gets sold

ah ah ah

imitation gold

you fetch a high price

with your branding and lies

your right love is all wrong

your legal practices are illegal

your side of the street is all dirty

your straight and narrow is all twisted

apologies, I'm driving forward

while you're flying in reverse backwards

(end chorus)
