[Verse 1] I see you dream of greener pastures, for yourself I see you stealing all the answers, does it help? And in this dark room, these ugly creatures loom What hungry greed, a little light could make your whole world clean [Pre-Chorus] Don't you know by now? The glory days are gone Glory, glory days are gone [Chorus] One foot in a gold mine The other one in the grave (in the grave!) Wise words for the wicked We don't have time to play I've got a melody haunting me endlessly Got notebooks full and a world to see No room for the haters, so you all best be on your way [Verse 2] You wear those feelings on your sleeve, for the whole world to see You've got the smile down You've got us fooled by clean, white teeth We've been here before, I know this creaking floor And I hear your heart beating under the boards [Pre-Chorus] Don't you know by now? The glory days are gone Glory, glory days are gone [Chorus] One foot in a gold mine The other one in the grave (in the grave!) Wise words for the wicked We don't have time to play I've got a melody haunting me endlessly Got notebooks full and a world to see No room for the haters, so you all best be on your way [Bridge] Do you really know your friends? One by one you're losing them [Breakdown Chorus] One foot in a gold mine The other one in the grave (in the grave!) Wise words for the wicked We don't got time, oh no we don't got time I've got a melody haunting me endlessly Got notebooks full and a world to see No room for the haters, so you all best be on your way No room for the haters, so you all best be on your way
