gold figures
was a standard which by the feds was bucked
and now we're f----d
the fed 'holes rigged it
so we're screwed, we entered a world of spin
and most jumped in

golden world that we had yesteryear
was just fine, quite divine, without peer
but the golden world would stay no fixture
was too late we'd get the picture
it's a world that then did depart from gold
out we were sold

golden world that we had yesteryear
was just fine till one swine made it clear
that the golden world would stay no fixture
got the kiss of death from mister
gold-nixer, nixon cursed the good old standard of gold
out we were sold

we got off the gold
standard, sold
out by dick and trolls
goodbye gold
no more gold
out we're sold
