lyrics

Son I've got to go, but I'll be home real soon
I've got a meeting in the scraper across the sea, I'll see you in a couple of moons
See I'm sealin' a deal to get you a steal and buy you some shiny wheels
I'm sure you'll make out fine in our mansion on the hill.

I'll dig deep inside these pockets to find my love for you
I know our time is short but I got some money makin' to do
I'll bring the bread home and you can raise yourself alone
Take note and someday soon you can turn your gems to stones

Let's wreck this beautiful place so we can make a few bucks
Let's take what God has made and we can make it more deluxe
And when the seas get sick and the air is thick and our money can't make sense
We'll just consider this an unavoidable expense

We'll dig deep inside these pockets to fix this dreadful mess
Naive to the fact that a little is more and more is inevitably less
We'll bring the green home and you can raise yourself alone
Take note and someday soon you can turn your gems to stones

We'd sell our souls for a little bit of gold and a diamond ring
We'll join the masses just to have the latest thing
We wont be happy until everything is gone
Cause if it doesn't shine then it isn't mine and it doesn't belong

Let's turn our gems to stones, let's turn our gems to stones
Let's turn our gems to stone, turn our gems to stones
Let's turn our gems to stones.
