LYRICS:
You sell a dream and make it seem we’ll never be good enough
We pound it down until we drown in debt to all this stuff
All this time we’ve towed the line believing lies were true
You held us down to hold the crown the riches go to you
Make no mistake, It’s all so fake on 5th avenue
Pop the champagne. Make it rain on 5th avenue
The rich all bitch, they’ve got an itch, and they love to prance around
Astor’s place, diamond’s ace, a poor man can’t be found
Your faithless whim, fugazi trim, you’re plastic through and through
Vanderbilt, right to the hilt, a reckoning is overdue
You sell the fake, let them eat cake, on 5th avenue
Pop the champagne and make it rain on 5th avenue
Sun is set, a mountain of debt, salute the red, white, and blue
Envy’s eye, America’s pie, we’re less because of you
Feel the Burn, we’ll never learn that the truth is often lies
Protect, deflect, it's all a wreck, it’s how democracy dies
So pop the champagne. Make it rain on 5th avenue
You sell the fake. Eat cake on 5th avenue
You reach out and take, time to break with 5th avenue
Just walk out on 5th avenue
