(Verse 1)
Dreams in a box, blue screen burns,
A neon glow where the soul turns.
Every life is pixelated, bound to shine,
Living on a network, feeding the line.
Got your face on a screen, can’t shake the fame,
Trading privacy for a piece of the game.
A thousand ads promise what’s real,
But is the truth something you can feel?
(Chorus)
Money for nothing, a life for the screen,
Living like ghosts in a digital dream.
Bright lights and echoes, the future sells,
Caught in the trance where illusion dwells.
(Verse 2)
Fortunes made, but at what cost?
So much taken, something lost.
Suits in towers trade the soul,
An empty heart where the numbers roll.
Clock ticks louder with every show,
Chasing the highs in the neon glow.
While in the haze, we lose the spark,
Lost in the flicker, alone in the dark.
(Bridge)
Well, they told us it’d be simple, free as the sky,
That we’d make it big, not wonder why.
But every light dims, shadows remain,
What’s there to gain from the mirage of fame?
(Chorus)
Money for nothing, a song for the blind,
Marching in step to the beat of the grind.
Living in mirrors, illusions refract,
Truth’s getting lost, and there’s no turning back.
(Outro)
Somewhere inside, there’s a place we knew,
A world beyond all the false and the true.
But caught in the current, it slips away,
Money for nothing—life on display.
