Thompson Twins - Gold Fever lyrics
[Thompson Twins - Gold Fever lyrics]
Well ya thought you were one
Of the chosen few
Ya tried to change the world
But the world changed you oh yeah
You've gotten old but you didn't get wise
And now you can't see further
Than those dollar signs
You got gold fever it's makin' you blind
You got gold fever
Sell your brothers down the line
Ooh yeah they're down there workin'
Their fingers to the bone
But, you couldn't care much less
You just keep counting out your gold
So you think you got the Midas touch
But let me tell ya mister
You ain't worth that much
You got gold fever it's makin' you blind
You got gold fever
Sell your brothers down the line
Well ya tell me just how you sleep at night
When ya know what ya doin' just ain't right
Ooh yeah bad money breeds bad men
Now it bothers me to think I
Used to call you a friend
You got gold fever it's makin' you blind
You got gold fever
Sell your brothers down the line
You got gold fever it's makin' you blind
You got gold fever
Sell your brothers down the line
Of the chosen few
Ya tried to change the world
But the world changed you oh yeah
You've gotten old but you didn't get wise
And now you can't see further
Than those dollar signs
You got gold fever it's makin' you blind
You got gold fever
Sell your brothers down the line
Ooh yeah they're down there workin'
Their fingers to the bone
But, you couldn't care much less
You just keep counting out your gold
So you think you got the Midas touch
But let me tell ya mister
You ain't worth that much
You got gold fever it's makin' you blind
You got gold fever
Sell your brothers down the line
Well ya tell me just how you sleep at night
When ya know what ya doin' just ain't right
Ooh yeah bad money breeds bad men
Now it bothers me to think I
Used to call you a friend
You got gold fever it's makin' you blind
You got gold fever
Sell your brothers down the line
You got gold fever it's makin' you blind
You got gold fever
Sell your brothers down the line
