For the love of gold

The beat goes on and on
We build on shaky ground
With blinders firmly strapped
We gracefully slide down
High expectations as the office calls
The Company may claim your body and your soul

The other day we moved like soldiers in our prime
But here we're stuck like stiff canaries in a mine
A one-trick-pony upon the Chinese wall
The Company may claim your body and your soul

What if our destiny lies in the hands of fools
There was a way out, but they'll never let us know
Moves like a clockwork but it's just insane
It governs like a body without brains

And if you see those men who are sanctified for love of gold
(See you down the road)
When the brightest art is sodomized, burn it down
(See you down the road)
When the mighty fall and try to hide, call them out
(See you down the road)
When the darkest lie is justified, break it down

And if you see those men who are sanctified for love of gold
When the brightest art is sodomized, burn it down
When the mighty fall and try to hide, call them out
When the darkest lie is justified, break it down

And if you see those men who are sanctified for love of gold
When the brightest art is sodomized, burn it down
