Old Money Blues

[Verse] In grand old halls, they dance the night away, With pearls and suits, they glide, a fine display, Silver spoons and tales by the champagne bay, Old money blues, they’ll never fade away. [Verse 2] With heirlooms passed from generation’s glow, A lineage, a cycle, fortunes grow, But in their hearts, there’s something hollow, low, Old money blues, it’s all they seem to know. [Chorus] Champagne fizz and diamond rings, Servants rushing, countless things, But all that glitters, gold and glitz, Can’t mend the heart where true love sits. [Verse 3] Infectious smiles, they hide the constant chase, For happiness that wealth cannot replace, They dream of simpler times, a slower pace, Old money blues, a bitter, cold embrace. [Verse 4] They speak in whispers, behind velvet drapes, Of love affairs and scandalous escapes, Yet all the laughter just becomes escapes, Old money blues, they're prisoners in capes. [Bridge] Through every mansion, echoes of the past, A laugh that lingers, but it never lasts, They seek the future, but they’re bound too fast, Old money blues, it’s shadows they cast.
