Whitey - Lead over Gold lyrics
[Whitey - Lead over Gold lyrics]
Why do people live this way?
They shake all night, and slave all day
And get nothing they have nothing
And when exactly were we sold?
That a good boy does just what he's told?
Why did you choose lead over gold?
When did we choose lead over gold?
They said: "Take- anything you want"
But, you never got a lot
You never got a single thing worth anything
Wake up- it’s later than you know
And you have to go
'Cause now it's time to punch the clock
Now it’s time to punch the clock
Everyday, and all brand new
It's an endless re-run, starring me and you
Watch us running in the wrong directions
Monkeys fascinated by our own reflections
The distant prize, the open doors
Reveal themselves as painted walls
A way to keep the hunger up
So we all run for the rabbit
When the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
"Take- anything you want"
But, you never got a lot
You never got a single thing worth anything
Wake up- it's later than you know
And you have to go
'Cause now it's time to punch the clock
Now it's time to punch the clock
(stop, stop, stop, stop)
(stop, stop, stop, stop)
(stop, stop, stop, stop)
(stop, stop, stop, stop)
(Aah) lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold
(Aah) lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold
(Aah) lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold
(Aah) lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold
Suck out all the life
'til the money runs dry
Yeah, there's worms in the apple
And there’s trails in the sky
A lot more money and a lot less soul
Bang the peg into the hole
The peg into the hole
Suck out all the life
’til the money runs dry
Yeah, there's worms in the apple
And there’s trails in the sky
A lot more money and a lot less soul
Bang the peg into the hole
The peg into the hole
Suck out all the life
They shake all night, and slave all day
And get nothing they have nothing
And when exactly were we sold?
That a good boy does just what he's told?
Why did you choose lead over gold?
When did we choose lead over gold?
They said: "Take- anything you want"
But, you never got a lot
You never got a single thing worth anything
Wake up- it’s later than you know
And you have to go
'Cause now it's time to punch the clock
Now it’s time to punch the clock
Everyday, and all brand new
It's an endless re-run, starring me and you
Watch us running in the wrong directions
Monkeys fascinated by our own reflections
The distant prize, the open doors
Reveal themselves as painted walls
A way to keep the hunger up
So we all run for the rabbit
When the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
Run for the rabbit when the gate goes up
"Take- anything you want"
But, you never got a lot
You never got a single thing worth anything
Wake up- it's later than you know
And you have to go
'Cause now it's time to punch the clock
Now it's time to punch the clock
(stop, stop, stop, stop)
(stop, stop, stop, stop)
(stop, stop, stop, stop)
(stop, stop, stop, stop)
(Aah) lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold
(Aah) lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold
(Aah) lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold
(Aah) lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold lead Over Gold
Lead Over Gold
Suck out all the life

Bang the peg into the hole
The peg into the hole
Suck out all the life
