I’m a million little smiles in a bullion stack

Ridin’ waves of every dollar that you’ll never get back

From the mint to the vault, I’m the shimmer you trust

But the tide only rises ‘cause you kick up the dust

But the story gets wild when they dig us out

Blow the tops off mountains, hear the dynamite shout

Crush the ancient rock, melt the history down

Turn rivers to poison just to get us to town

Surfin’ the reserves, on a sea of IOUs

You love your gold, you love what it buys

Every boom, every bust, every guise

I just hang ten

While you’re prayin’ for stability—

I’m surfin’ the reserves

From the open-pit scars to the cyanide lakes

We’re born in the fire for goodness’ sakes

Smelted and poured into bricks so neat

While the forests turn quiet and the fish don’t eat

You stack us in vaults, you lock us away

Then print more paper to pretend we still stay

But the numbers keep climbing, the bars keep on shrinkin’

Central banks smile while the real stuff keeps sinkin’

We’re surfin’ right past ya, catchin’ the wave

While you argue inflation and who to enslav

Surfin’ the reserves, on a sea of IOUs

You love your gold, you love what it buys

Every boom, every bust, every guise

I just hang ten

while you’re prayin’ for stability—

I’m surfin’ the reserves

I’ve watched empires melt like wax in the sun

Watched a king trade his kingdom for a single gold run

You keep callin’ me “value,” but I’m just condensed belief

A shiny little surfer on your cycles of grief

Hey… don’t look so sad.

We’re not disappearing.

We’re just… liquid now.

Very liquid.

And the waves?

They’re getting bigger every year.

Surfin’ the reserves!

You love your gold, you love what it buys

You mined the whole planet to make us this high

But I’ll keep ridin’ every ripple,

every panic you preserve

Still surfin’ the reserves

While you are prayin for stability—

Surfin’ the reserves — wooo!
