Century Of Gold - Extended
We're the highest species
So, we own the world
When I grew up
That was all that I heard
So advanced and so untouchable
We got the right technique
To get all what we seek
We are meant to lead
We have the right to take
All we need
Cause nothing beats great humanity
Sip your tea of gold
Maybe you will be drawn down too
Oh, hot tea
Blurs your perception of the truth
Sip your tea of gold
Before it's no longer afternoon
Go hide away
Who cares about what you have done
You're so self-absorbed
That you still think that you have won
Now just behold
Only money controls the world
Century of gold
If you look closer
You can see the cracked facade
Everything you tell sounds too odd
We're not as brilliant
As you portray us
Climate change and war
We still want all and more
The suffering you ignore
Your values lie straight on the floor
To being fair you have shut the door
Sip your tea of gold
Maybe you will be drawn down too
Oh, hot tea
Blurs your perception of the truth
Sip your tea of gold
Before it's no longer afternoon
Go hide away
Who cares about what you have done
You're so self-absorbed
That you still think that you have won
Now just behold
Only money controls the world
Century of gold
Sip your tea
Sip your tea of gold
But beware that it does not
Burn your throat
Sip your hot gold
When the last river dried
The last tree felled
The last animal is shot to death
You will realize
That you cannot eat gold
In your century of gold
No, you cannot eat gold
In your century of gold
Century of gold
So, we own the world
When I grew up
That was all that I heard
So advanced and so untouchable
We got the right technique
To get all what we seek
We are meant to lead
We have the right to take
All we need
Cause nothing beats great humanity
Sip your tea of gold
Maybe you will be drawn down too
Oh, hot tea
Blurs your perception of the truth
Sip your tea of gold
Before it's no longer afternoon
Go hide away
Who cares about what you have done
You're so self-absorbed
That you still think that you have won
Now just behold
Only money controls the world
Century of gold
If you look closer
You can see the cracked facade
Everything you tell sounds too odd
We're not as brilliant
As you portray us
Climate change and war
We still want all and more
The suffering you ignore
Your values lie straight on the floor
To being fair you have shut the door
Sip your tea of gold
Maybe you will be drawn down too
Oh, hot tea
Blurs your perception of the truth
Sip your tea of gold
Before it's no longer afternoon
Go hide away
Who cares about what you have done
You're so self-absorbed
That you still think that you have won
Now just behold
Only money controls the world
Century of gold
Sip your tea
Sip your tea of gold
But beware that it does not
Burn your throat
Sip your hot gold
When the last river dried
The last tree felled
The last animal is shot to death
You will realize
That you cannot eat gold
In your century of gold
No, you cannot eat gold
In your century of gold
Century of gold
