[Intro]
It's a cautionary tale
All you brothers out there chasing that dough
Watch what you do
You should know, it won't save your soul
[Verse 1]
Don't let it fool you, brother
Beware of what you see
You've been consumed by all your visions of luxury
Betrayed your friends and burned the bridges that carry you
But when you need them later, they won't be there for you
[Pre-Chorus]
You're so high now, you think you'll never fall
But when you come down, who will you call?
[Chorus]
What you gonna do when your money's blown?
Your friends are gone and you're all alone
Now you're barely hanging on with nowhere else to run to
You should know it won't make you whole
You gain the world but lose your soul
Spend your life in the search for dough
You'll find out it just won't save you
[Post-Chorus]
No (What you gonna do?)
No (What you gonna do?)
No (What you gonna do?)
No
[Verse 2]
You think that having money brings joy and peace to you
But the pursuit of it might bring out the beast in you
Chase the American Dream but can't face reality
That what you're chasing only lasts temporarily
[Pre-Chorus]
You're so high now, someday you're gonna fall
But when you come down, who will you call?
[Chorus]
What you gonna do when your money's blown?
Your friends are gone and you're all alone
Now you're barely hanging on with nowhere else to run to
You should know it won't make you whole
You gain the world but lose your soul (Lose your soul)
Spend your life in the search for dough
You'll find out it just won't save you
[Post-Chorus]
No (Chase that cash)
No (Get that dough)
No (But you need to know)
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah (Hey, what you gonna do?)
[Chorus]
What you gonna do when your money's blown?
Your friends are gone and you're all alone
Now you're barely hanging on with nowhere else to run to
You should know it won't make you whole
You gain the world but lose your soul
Spend your life in the search for dough
You'll find out it just won't save you
[Outro]
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do when there's nowhere?
(Nowhere to run to) I think you're gonna find that it just won't
(Just won't save you) Oh, what you gonna do when there's nowhere
(Nowhere to run to) I think you're gonna find that it just won't
(Just won't save you) Oh, what you gonna do when there's nowhere
(Nowhere to run to) I think you're gonna find that it just won't
(Just won't save you) Hey, hey, what you gonna do when there's nowhere
(Nowhere to run to) I think you're gonna find that it just won't
(Just won't save you) Hey, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
(Nowhere to run to) Hey, oh yeah, yeah
(Just won't save you)
(Nowhere to run to)
(Just won't save you)
(Nowhere to run to)
(Just won't save you)
(Nowhere to run to)
(Just won't save you)
