[Verse 1]
Somebody told me to vote Conservative
Tragedy is not known under this dimmest of lights
Everybody feels sick by the courtesy of dismay
Was I schooled without direction?

[Chorus]
Gold against the soul
Rock 'n' roll has a conscience
It supplies convenience
Gold against
Against the soul
Against the soul

[Verse 2]
Close the pits sanctify Roy Lynk an O.B.E
Shareholding a piece of this fucking country
Fossilise - make Yorkshire into a tourist resort
And dream of new ways to humble the poor

[Chorus]
Gold against the soul
White liberal hates slavery
Needs Thai labour to clean his home
Gold erodes
Erodes the soul
Erodes the soul
[Bridge]
A 1000 Marlboro death ignored everyday
And who gives a shit about sexuality

[Chorus]
Gold against the soul
Working class clichés start here
Either cloth caps or smack victims
Gold destroyed
Destroyed the soul
Destroyed the soul
