Better Dead Than Lead

I had a golden ring and I kept it with golden things
In the Bank of a 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 headI had a golden dream and the way it down came 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'Cause 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 togetherI 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 leadBut 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 togetherAnd that's the way it's gonna beAnd if you wanna know why
That was a [Incomprehensible]
And I knew all timeBut 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 togetherGold 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 togetherAnd that's the way it's gonna be
That's the way it's gonna be
