Golden Key - Renaissance

Turn of the golden key

Company machine

Sell his identity

Spin their golden dream

Sell him out as the boy next door

Take him under their wing

Gilded cage, but he has it made

Golden bird he sings

Sold out commodity

Everything they need

Image is fancy free

How they’d like to be

So they follow his every move

Hang on in to his style

Made the grade and he has it made

Loved it for a while

Another turn of the golden key

The biggest star in the sky

See him fly, he’s flown away

Another turn of the key

The music won’t die

He still sings

But a new melody

He’s singing for free

Took on another name

For publicity

Didn’t plan all this fame

Call the company

I’m not sure this is fair exchange

More to lose than I knew

I am lost and they own me now

Golden bird he flew

Another turn of the golden key

The biggest star in the sky

See him fly, he’s flown away

Another turn of the key

The music won’t die

He still sings

But a new melody

He’s singing for free
