Better Dead Than Lead lyrics

I had a golden ring and I kept it with golden things
In the Bank of Million dreams that was bursting at all the seams
I had a golden ring. It was such an important thing
That I kept it beneath my bed, and I carried it in my head

I had a golden dream, and the way it came down to me
Was through Captains of Alchemy, who came up from a steely sea
And I dreamed through the rainy night, and I managed to sleep alright
And my body became so light, that I managed to give it flight

Because I know gold is just a trick of the light
And lead is light as a feather
So, leave me where the kids are alright
And we will all go down together

I had a golden dream, and they took it away from me
And they pulled it out of my head, and they showed me that it was lead

But I know gold is just a trick of the light
And lead is light as a feather
So, leave me where the kids are alright
And we will all go down together

And that’s the way it’s going to be

And there`s water in wine
And there`s nickel in dimes
And they knew all the time

But gold is just a trick of the light
And lead is light as a feather
So, leave me where the kids are alright
And we will all go down together

And gold is just a trick of the light
And lead is light as a feather
So, leave me where the kids are alright
And we will all go down together

And that`s the way it`s going to be
That’s the way, it’s going to be
