about

For me, this song is a critique on capitalism, and how our contributions to society don't always align to money earnt which allow us to survive and thrive. However, more broadly this song is for people that feel undervalued and underappreciated for many valid reasons.

lyrics

Mama told me
I had to work hard
Have to be able to fend for myself

At first
I didn’t listen
Didn’t know what she did
Now its in my bones

Souls sold
For fool's gold
Really makes you wonder
How this world truly runs, ooh

Souls sold
For fool's gold
Really make you wonder
How we ever recover

You only get one life
Let your morals be your guide
If you can fufil all of your needs

Is there an itch of guilt
You want to stratch?
You proud what you do and who you have become.

Being afraid won’t change anything
We’ve tried too many times before,

Only reason why
I’m in this position
Is because people choose look past the stains
I’m sick and tired of these rusted chains


Souls sold
For fool's gold
Really makes you wonder
How this world truly runs, ooh

Souls sold
For fool's gold
Really make you wonder
How we ever recover

Who am I to say?
Who am I to say?
Who am I to say?
Who am I to say?

Souls sold
For fool's gold
Really makes you wonder
How this world truly runs, ooh

Souls sold
For fool's gold
Really make you wonder
How we ever recover
