Verse 1:
It is the plain for eyes to see
The things that are happening today
Rich is as in prison more
Than freed from poverty
Why who have everything they need
Always look as sad to me
The mean happiness is not vanity
It's something internally
Chorus:
Don't be used by the society
It's only a front game they play
Don't be fooled by the majority
Want to lead you in their own way
They traveled far to foreign lands
Even sailed the seven seas
But it looks as if they are feeling
More pressure than you and me
But not the inches of your money
Nor the ounces of your honey
You hands and nature disagree
Can't you see, can't you see
You need the words of his majesty
Chorus
But not the inches of your money

Not everything glitter is gold
Not everything you read in the paper
There are secrets not yet been told
