[Layered Chant]
That's the sound of the man, working at the chain..
[Verse 1]
Live and die to live and die
Worthless lives repeat in time
Doomed to roam this cream and brown
Take his square and knock it down
It's all part of the game (go with it)
These pawns could be queens (go get it)
Now who's the fool that said it so
That all that glitters is not gold
[Bridge 1]
Girl..
That could be your world on the TV screen
You could be the one that corners your king
The finest piece that we've ever seen..
[Verse 2]
(Now listen) I was born in London town
Where the man runs from the beast 'fore he hunts it down
Makes a poor family a feast after lunch in town
With the sweet folly of peace 'cos they rent the grounds
It's all part of the contract (go with it)
And Mom really wants that (go get it)
Now who's the fool that said it so
That all that glitters can't be yours
[Bridge 2]
That could be your world on the TV screen
You could have your hands on all of those things
In the finest age in technology
With the world on it's grind, world on it's grind-
[Layered Chant]
Thats the sound of the man, working at the chain..
[Verse 3]
She wants a Rolly on her wrist with a Phantom Royce
The only handcuffs that she'd wear by choice
The rest are part of the game
The time that she does will look so good in gold
[Bridge 3]
Who needs the world with the TV screen
When you look so good in gold
Who needs the world with the TV screen..
[Verse 4]
(Then) somebody told her that she couldn't get the Rolls at most
She took the long way home, didn't look at the sky
Because the moment she ceased to believe in ghosts
Is the moment she ceased to believe in God
[Bridge 4]
Girl..
Who needs the world with the TV screen
When you look so good in gold
Who needs the world with the TV screen..
