Prince Rogers Nelson

(June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016)

There's a mountain and it's mighty high

You cannot see the top, unless you fly

And there's a molehill, of proven ground

Ain't nowhere to go if you hang around

Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold

Everybody wants to tell what's already been told

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold?

Even at the center of the fire, there is cold

All that glitters ain't gold

All that glitters ain't gold

There's an ocean, of despair

There are people livin' there

They're unhappy and each and every day

Hell is not fashion, so whatcha tryin' to say?

Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold

Everybody wants to tell what's already been told

What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold?

Even at the center of the fire, there is cold

All that glitters ain't gold

No, no

All that glitters ain't gold

No, no

There's a lady, ninety-nine years old

If she led a good life, heaven takes her soul

That's a theory and if you don't want to know

Step aside and make a way for those who want to go

Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold (sold)

Everybody wants to tell what's already been told (told)

What's the use of being young if you ain't gonna get old? (Old)

Even at the center of the fire, there is cold (cold)

All that glitters (glitters) ain't gold

No, no, no

No, no

All that glitters ain't gold

Woo

All that glitters

All that glitters

All that glitters ain't gold

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

All that glitters ain't

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

All that glitters ain't

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

All that glitters

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

All that glitters ain't gold

Oh yeah

One, two

One, two, three, yeah

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

You are now an official member of the New Power Generation

Welcome to the dawn

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

All that glitters ain't gold

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

All that glitters ain't gold

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

All that glitters ain't gold

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

All that glitters ain't gold

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)

All that glitters ain't gold

(Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na)
