Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is there gold, is there gold in Kabul?
I've been there in a nest of snakes
I've been there as a blackout artist
Everyone tryna take my place
[Verse 2]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
[Verse 3]
I was there as a midnight watchmen
I was there for a masquerade
I was there as a makeup artist
Everyone tryna point the blame
[Verse 4]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
[Verse 5]
I sawed myself in halves
I grew myself a pair of hooves
You gave to me this gift
I love you still, alone I drift
[Verse 6]
Is there gold, gold in Kabul?
I've been there in a suicide vest
I've been there with a hangman risin'
Everyone tryna take the piss
[Verse 7]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
[Verse 8]
I sawed myself in halves
I grew myself a pair of horns
You gave to me this gift
I love you still, alone I drift
[Verse 9]
You can walk from there to China
From state to reptilian state
Holy Americans singin' vespers
Convinced that they control somebody's fate
[Verse 10]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
[Verse 11]
I sawed myself in halves
I grew myself a pair of hooves
You gave to me this gift
I love you still, alone I drift
[Verse 12]
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
Is there gold?
