A celestial prophecy, how blessed are we by your noble birth
But we are just flesh and blood and sometimes love and hate
And it don't matter what you say

You traded your soul for a smile and a wink
Oh yeah, easy as sin, well
It is what it is but it ain't what you think
No, no, the clever don't always win
So cling to your crown if you will but you can't turn paper to gold
Anymore than a lie can deceive once the truth has been told
