Lead Into Gold

covered in mud and glory
belies our sense of fun
children grasp love of money
lure of T.V. shock of a gun
slather the faint with ointment
with lore and history
cover the earth with money
with blood and praise for thee
covered in blood, in glory
different in fact, in deed
employ an aged story
a simple life, just and free
slather the faint with ointment
with lore and history
cover the earth with money
with blood and praise for thee
[ Snake Oil Lyrics ]
