We Buy Gold Songtext
von Stephanie Quayle

We live twice as long
And stay together half as much
Get married too damn young
And when we do it ain′t just once
The newsman says the world's a mess, if you want proof
The ice is melting, bees are leaving, population′s through the roof

There's a million reasons we're better off alone
But when it′s all said and done

We buy gold
Carve our names into the band
Say a vow, say a prayer
Slip it on each other′s hand
Tie some tin cans to the car
Drive away and cross our hearts
In a world where nothing's sure but growing old
We buy gold


We know twice as much
But we still don′t have a clue
How to find real love
If it ain't finding you
The song has changed since the days of Jack and Diane
Tore their dreams down
Put a highway through the heart of the heartland

There′s a million reasons we're better off alone
But when it′s all said and done

We buy gold
Carve our names into the band
Say a vow, say a prayer
Slip it on each other's hand
Tie some tin cans to the car
Drive away and cross our hearts
In a world where nothing's sure but growing old
We buy gold

If you′re looking for a surefire guarantee you won′t find one
But when it's all said and done
We buy gold
We buy gold


We buy gold
Carve our names into the band
Say a vow, say a prayer
Slip it on each other′s hand
Tie some tin cans to the car
Drive away and cross our hearts
In a world where nothing's sure but growing old
We buy gold
We buy gold
We buy gold
We buy gold
We buy gold
