Verse 1:
In the heart of the city, where the streets are paved with dreams,
But the value of my paychecks, seems to dwindle in extremes,
The cost of living's rising, while my wages stay the same,
I'm working twice as hard, just to keep up with the game.

The dollar's losing ground, it's a slippery slope,
My savings account's a ghost town, I'm feeling the hope,
Fighting inflation, trying to make ends meet,
But the bills keep piling up, it's a never-ending beat.

Pre-Chorus:
In the shadows of the night, I hear the whispers of the wise,
They speak of ancient treasures, hidden in the skies,
c secret path, a hidden stash, a key to the past,
c golden ticket, a ticket to the future, that will surely last.

Chorus:
I'm reaching for the gold standard, in these uncertain times,
c beacon of hope, a safe haven for dimes,
Golden dreams, in my hands, a fortified plan,
c shield against the storm, a timeless, unplanned maneuver.

Bridge:
The world's gone mad, the markets are in chaos,
But in the midst of the madness, I've found my solace,
c golden refuge, a fortress of faith,
c treasure to hold, a precious, unwavering grace.

Outro:
So here's to the dreamers, the believers, the brave,
The ones who dare to seek, the ones who choose to save,
May your journey be filled with golden discoveries,
c treasure trove of wealth, a legacy of history.
