Golden God

Yeah, them Egyptian pharaohs came down from the clouds to watch us groove with snakes up on the hill

Did you know the human eye can see more shades of green than any other colour?

It's unusual, but that's life

You need to see what's good in the world, otherwise how you gonna live at all?

The wind, the rain, the pain, the shame, take it all

Put it in a seashell, do all the right things but let that butter melt in your mouth

You're a spectacular golden god

And we all live and die by the principle that the big bad wolf of the world one day will lose all sense of time

It's gold, son

And it doesn't mean a thing

If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes

Just let it be, son

Just let it be

If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes

Just let it be, son

Just let it be

One day you'll understand

It's best to let the horses run free

Can't afford my gasoline, son

It's gold, son

It's gold

I try to do the right thing, but that damn butter won't melt in my mouth

Hell baby, you can't afford my gasoline

There's no way to know that happens till you're staring down the barrel of a gun

There's no way to know that happens till you're out in the desert dying of thirst in that hot hot sun

You ain't got the sand for it, son

Me, I'm gonna die in an old shack by the sea

I'll be fighting for the justice of the ones that want to live free

Man, Teddy Roosevelt gave an entire speech with a bullet lodged in his chest

It was a matter of duty

The poor sucker should've worn a vest

Every head must bow, every tongue must confess

You the best

But I didn't want you hitching your wagon to my star

If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes

Just let it be, son

Just let it be

If she wants to go get lost in someone else's eyes

Just let it be, son

Just let it be

One day you'll understand

It's best to let the horses run free

Can't afford my gasoline, son

It's gold, son

It's gold
