J A C K F R O S T - Root Of Evil

If you had my love and I gave you all my trust, would you come for me
And if somehow you knew that your love would be as real as you lied for me
If you had my love and I gave you all my trust, would you come for me
And if somehow you knew that your love would be as real as you lied for me
I saw a UFO crash in Vegas, wonder if there was another life where they hate us
We're just as good at loving as we are at hating, that's the world we're waging, men in desperation
Everybody's paranoid bout a nuke nation, then along comes Joe and drops our expectations
Look at the new normal, I know times change but this feels like a portal
Gotta make the best, put the stress to rest, invest in yourself, don't let them tell you no
In my final hour I'll probably reminisce, the deals I closed and the girlies I kissed
But I saw a UFO in Vegas and they found out what my name is
Told me to blow my brains out and blame it on my craziness, what's it really mean to exist
When I die, where does all the money go? Is it worth every heart I broke
All the games I played, all the times I strayed, away from my faith, it'll come back around one day
Money is the root of evil, some say, I'm sure I'll agree, someday, just not today
God, I hope that's okay
Living in the future, controlled by technology, governments watching, calling us property
It's a rigged democracy, congress is profiting, you think they care about you? Yeah, obviously
Spreading lies about the media's ideology, stuck paying rent for somebody else's property
I had a girl look at me like I'm crazy for monogamy, see the whole economy is a monopoly
In the future we'll look back on what we used to now, wondering how we're doing the earth harm
Ceasing unborn hearts, censoring the arts, fighting their wars that become ours
They keep you trapped with these bills you can't pay, you only continue hoping things will change
How many have to die before we find another way? Every day another shooting in America's mass grave
When I die, where does all the money go? Is it worth every heart I broke
All the games I played, all the times I strayed, away from my faith, it'll come back around one day
Money is the root of evil, some say, I'm sure I'll agree, someday, just not today
God, I hope that's okay
Can't understand the world we live in, when did gender become a decision
Can't swipe right without checking pronouns in the description, I stole a man's pension
He worked in the prison system since Nixon, definition of blue collar, he's retiring his position
When they called for change, he didn't sign the petition, he said why bother
Spends every day with the woman he loves, has five kids and they gave him a grandson
They live a few miles away, he sees them a ton, my life's a joke, it hit me all at once
Most of us broke, live in hoax, hypnosis, misdiagnosed, you might be rich, inside we're all broke
What's it mean to exist? What's it really mean to be broke
When I die, where does all the money go? Is it worth every heart I broke
All the games I played, all the times I strayed, away from my faith, it'll come back around one day
Money is the root of evil, some say, I'm sure I'll agree, someday, just not today
God, I hope that's okay
