House of Gold
Some people cheat, they steal and lie (some people cheat, steal and lie)
For wealth and what it will buy (for wealth and what it will buy)
Don't they know on judgment day (don't they know on judgment day)
All the gold and silver are gonna melt away? (All the gold and silver melt away)
What good is gold and silver, too? (What good is gold and silver, too?)
When your heart's not pure and true (when your heart's not pure and true)
Sinner, hear me when I say
You better get down on your knees and pray (oh, you better get down on your knees and pray)
I'd rather be in a deep, dark grave (be in a deep, dark grave)
And know that my poor soul was saved (and know that my poor soul was saved)
Than live in this world in a house of gold (than live in this world in a house of gold)
And deny my God and lose my soul (and deny my God and lose my soul)
Some people cheat, they steal and lie (some people cheat, they steal and lie)
For wealth and what it will buy (for wealth and what it will buy)
But don't they know on judgment day (don't they know on judgment day)
All the gold and silver are gonna melt away? (All the gold and silver, oh is going to melt away)
Sinner, hear me when I say
You better get down on your knees and pray (you better get down on your knees and pray)
(Your knees and pray) pray
Thank you
For wealth and what it will buy (for wealth and what it will buy)

When your heart's not pure and true (when your heart's not pure and true)
Sinner, hear me when I say
