«Golden Child»
Private school kids sipping hot toddies
Caring how you’re using your money
Catchin‘ up ‚cause you’re scared of slipping up
Your daddy bought the beach ‚cause your momma’s out of love
Always said that you would never play the game
There you go, you put your old self to shame
Running ‚round in circles just saving face
Every minute that you fake (La-la-la-la)
Tell me why you think it’s so much fun
To keep your image up but lose your touch
You really seem to make your parents proud
I’m glad they finally got their golden child, golden child
No one wants third wheels at the party
Only here to be your cover story
Innocent ‚til your parеnts get a whiff
You can call it what you want or you can call it what it is
Always said that you would never play thе game
There you go, you put your old self to shame
Running ‚round in circles just saving face
The final straw’s about to break (La-la-la-la)
Tell me why you think it’s so much fun
To keep your image up but lose your touch
You really seem to make your parents proud
I’m glad they finally got their golden child, golden child
You’re living on a perfect record
‚Cause you’ve never been caught
You think you control the future
With your stocks and bonds
You’re betting it all for nothin‘
‚Cause you never felt loss
You’re living by a broken mirror
Not who you think you are (Think you are)
Tell me why you think it’s so much fun
To keep your image up but lose your touch
You really seem to make your parents proud
I’m glad they finally got their golden child, golden child
Golden child, yeah-yeah
Oh
