The Gold Standard Songtext
von Dr. Robert

Have you heard about the gold standard?
Gonna hold you in its reigns
Gonna drip feed and destroy you
Gonna leave us all in chains

Have you tasted all its promises?
Have you taken all its gifts?
Have you tried the special offer?
See how it separates and lifts


They′ll tempt you with eternity
Everybody gets a shot
It don't matter where you come from
Just show us what you got

Let us praise the whistle-blowers
Let us celebrate them all
Let them shout down from the rooftops
Everything we need to know

Mass deceit and subterfuge
Skullduggery and theft
Pretty soon if things don′t change
There won't be any of this left


Have you heard about the gold standard?
Gonna hold you in its reigns
Gonna drip feed and destroy you
Gonna leave us all in chains
