[Intro]

[Verse]
Shiny tower, glass and steel
Hiding what the rich conceal
Talking down, a phony smile
Feeding hate for a little while
Says he's one of us, a joke
While our broken spirits choke

[Chorus]
Gilded cage, a hollow sound
Trampling on the common ground
Populist lie, a twisted game
Whispering blame, fueling the flame
Yeah, fueling the flame!

[Verse]
Layoffs hit, the rent is due
He's on TV, blaming you
Feeds the fear, divides the poor
Locks us out, slams the door
Thinks his money makes him right
Blinded by his own fake light

[Chorus]
Gilded cage, a hollow sound
Trampling on the common ground
Populist lie, a twisted game
Whispering blame, fueling the flame
Yeah, fueling the flame!

[Bridge]
We see the cracks, we hear the lies
Beneath the polished, cruel disguise
Your empty words, a cheap facade
We won't be fooled, we won't be awed!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Gilded cage, a hollow sound
Trampling on the common ground
Populist lie, a twisted game
Whispering blame, fueling the flame
Yeah, fueling the flame!

[Outro]
Fake! Fake!
Fake!
Get out!
Get out!
