Golden God
Yeah them Egyptian pharaohs came
Down from the clouds to watch us
Groove with the snakes up on the hill
Did you know the human eye can see more shades of green than any other colour?
It's unusual but that's life
You need to see what's good in the world
Otherwise how you gonna live at all
The wind the rain the pain
The shame take it all
Put it in a seashell
Do all the right things but let that butter melt in your mouth
You're a spectacular golden god
And we all live and die by the principle that
The big bad wolf of the world one day
Will lose all sense of time
It's gold son
And it doesn't mean a thing
If she wants to go get lost
In someone else's eyes
Just let it be son
Just let it be
If she wants to go get lost
In someone else's eyes
Just let it be son
Just let it be
One day you'll understand
It's best to let the horses run free
Can't afford my gasoline son...
It's gold son, it's gold
I try to do the right thing
But that damn butter won't melt in my mouth
Hell baby, you can't afford my gasoline
There's no way to know what happens
Till you're staring down the barrel of a gun
There's no way to know what happens
Till you're out in the desert dying of thirst in that hot hot sun
You ain't got the sand for it son!
Me, I'm gonna die in an old shack by the sea
I'll be fighting for the justice of the ones that want to live free
Man Teddy Roosevelt gave an entire speech with a bullet lodged in his chest
It was a matter of duty
The poor sucker shoulda worn a vest
Every head most bow
Every tongue must confess...
You the best
But I didn't want you hitching your wagon to my star
If she wants to go get lost
In someone else's eyes
Just let it be son
Just let it be
If she wants to go get lost
In someone else's eyes
Just let it be son
Just let it be
One day you'll understand
Its best to let the horses run free
Can't afford my gasoline son...
It's gold son, it's gold
If she wants to go get lost
In someone else's eyes
Just let it be son
Just let it be
If she wants to go get lost
In someone else's eyes
Just let it be son
Just let it be
One day you'll understand
Its best to let the horses run free
Can't afford my gasoline son...
It's gold son, it's gold
Can't afford my gasoline son...
It's gold
