Daddy said she's pretty, bought her diamond jewelry
Got her a horse on a satin lead
Now those younger seeds have grown into weeds

Of Prada, Wang, Philipe, Cartier and Gulfstream

Gold is the standard

Gold is the reason
Gold are the bricks
That built this prison


Private school 'til eighteen, coming out at nineteen
After that nothing could turn her head

Cars and men are upgrades, the same old parade
The static death of days lived in the shade


Gold is the standard
Gold is the reason
Gold are the bricks

That built this prison

Gold is the standard

The streaming banner
But all those flags
Get blown to rags


Now she's started running, furious globe trotting
Power plays and parties, Pinot on the roof

A life at light-speed that never knows need
A heart encased in metal is burglar-proof


Gold is the standard
Gold is the reason
Gold are the bricks

That built this prison
