Fall Out Boy Lyrics

Fall Out Boy Albums: Album: Infinity on High
Song: Golden (How Cruel)

How cruel is the golden rule
When the lives we lived are
Only golden plated?

And I knew that 
The lights of this city 
Were too heavy for me
And Though I carry karats
For everyone to see

And I saw God cry in
The reflection of my enemies
And all the lovers
With no time for me
And all of the mothers
Raised their babies

To stay away from me

Tongues on the sockets
Of electric dreams
When the sewage of youth
Drowned the spark of my teens

And I knew that
The lights of this city
Were too heavy for me
(Too heavy for me...)
And though I carry karats
For everyone to see
(Everyone to see...)

(Chorus)

And pray they don’t grow up to be me...
