Lead and Gold
We wage alchemical warfare against ourselves
In the air, in the water, in the food upon our shelves
Watch as our boys and girls die before they get old
Watch as we turn lead into gold
The only work lies in making bombs or dropping them
Madmen with nukes and there's no stopping them
They laugh as they count the money from the lies that they sold
And still we turn lead into gold
Well, you can buy food or you can buy drugs
But if you're dying for a cure, then you're shit out of luck
Can't afford your own funeral if the truth be told
The worth of your life can be measured in gold
You can shout your opinions until you are hoarse
But all that matters is what the lobbyists endorse
If you think you're being represented, well then you just got trolled
The only voices left are lead and gold
Only voices left
Only voices left
Only voices left are lead and gold
In the air, in the water, in the food upon our shelves
Watch as our boys and girls die before they get old
Watch as we turn lead into gold
The only work lies in making bombs or dropping them
Madmen with nukes and there's no stopping them
They laugh as they count the money from the lies that they sold
And still we turn lead into gold
Well, you can buy food or you can buy drugs
But if you're dying for a cure, then you're shit out of luck
Can't afford your own funeral if the truth be told
The worth of your life can be measured in gold
You can shout your opinions until you are hoarse
But all that matters is what the lobbyists endorse
If you think you're being represented, well then you just got trolled
The only voices left are lead and gold
Only voices left
Only voices left
Only voices left are lead and gold
