Lyrics
Well I guess you don't you need clean air to breathe
Expressing skepticism about the necessity of clean air within privileged circles.
When you think you'll be just fine
Suggesting overconfidence in facing challenges.
And the water that you're drinkin' from a Michigan sink
Highlighting the contrast between contaminated water in Michigan and opulence.
Inside your gilded walls that shine
Criticizing the luxurious, yet isolating, nature of the speaker's surroundings.
And I work two jobs to raise a family
Detailing the speaker's struggle with multiple jobs to support their family.
While you're living on everything your daddy left behind
Accusing someone of living off inherited wealth without understanding the struggles of others.
And it's clear you don't care about the folks down here
Pointing out the lack of concern for the less fortunate within privileged walls.
Inside your gilded walls that shine
Reiterating the opulence of the enclosed space, emphasizing its shine.
Oh and I don't believe in the devil
Expressing skepticism about the existence of evil.
But you might make me go and change my mind
Suggesting that the actions of the privileged might challenge the speaker's beliefs.
You can see this whole damn world get leveled and not even lose track of time
Describing the detachment of the privileged from global issues, even catastrophic events.
Inside your gilded walls that shine
Reiterating the disconnect between the privileged and the harsh realities outside their walls.
Well another group of kids in high schools dead
Highlighting tragic events like school shootings while the privileged engage in leisure.
But you're still at your golf course teeing off at nine
Emphasizing the detachment of the wealthy from societal issues.
People marching in the streets trying to find a little peace
Depicting societal unrest and the privileged individual's indifference.
You sit around spouting awful shit online
Criticizing the privileged for making insensitive remarks on social media.
Oh and I don't believe in the devil
Reiterating doubt about the existence of evil, considering the actions of the privileged.
But you might make me go and change my mind
Suggesting that the privileged actions might challenge the speaker's beliefs.
You can see this whole damn world get leveled and not even lose track of time
Highlighting the continued detachment of the privileged despite global crises.
Inside your gilded walls that shine
Reiterating the disconnect between the privileged and the harsh realities outside their walls.
Well you've always been the same
Asserting the consistent nature of the privileged individual.
You ain't ever gonna change
Predicting the inevitability of consequences for the privileged person's actions.
But I know it's gonna all catch up with you in time
Anticipating a reckoning for the privileged individual in the future.
And there's a pot of gold from all the dreams you stole
Accusing the privileged of benefiting from stolen dreams, implying unethical success.
Inside your gilded walls that shine
Reiterating the opulence of the enclosed space, emphasizing its shine.
Oh and I don't believe in the devil
Expressing skepticism about the existence of evil.
But you might make me go and change my mind
Suggesting that the actions of the privileged might challenge the speaker's beliefs.
You can see this whole damn world get leveled and not even lose track of time
Highlighting the continued detachment of the privileged despite global crises.
Inside your gilded walls that shine
Reiterating the disconnect between the privileged and the harsh realities outside their walls.
