Lyrics

The story is told of the power of gold
And its lure on the unsuspecting
It glitters and shines
It badgers and blinds
And constantly needs protecting
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Are you under
The power of gold?
The letters and calls got you climbing the walls
And everyone wants a favor
They beg to remind you
Of times left behind you
And you know the past is a loser
The face you're wearing is different now
And the days run hot and cold
Are you under
The power of gold?
The power of gold
(Ooh, ah, ah)
(Ooh, ah, ah, ah)
You're a creature of habit, run like a rabbit
Scared of a fear you can't name
Your own paranoia is looming before you
But nobody thinks that it's a game
Balance the cost of the soul you lost
With the dreams you lightly sold
Then tell me that you're free
Of the power of gold
The power of gold
The women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's somethin' about the song
That disturbs you
(The women are lovely, the wine is superb)
(But there's somethin' about the song)
(That disturbs you)
Women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's somethin' about the song
That disturbs you
(Women are lovely, the wine is superb)
(But there's somethin' about the song)
(That disturbs you)
Women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's somethin' about the song
That disturbs you
(Women are lovely, the wine is superb)
(But there's somethin' about the song)
(That disturbs you)
Women are lovely, the wine is superb
But there's somethin' about the song
That disturbs you
Women are lovely, the wine is superb
