clean w/slight delay

it is, because of the bass)

MAIN RIFF x2 (this time with wah completely pulled
back, and whammy/pitchshifter set
to harmonize 1 octave up)


VERSE


Close the pits sanctify Roy Link an OBE,
Shareholding a piece of this ***ing country,
Fossilize make Yorkshire into a tourist resort,
And dream of new ways to humble the poor.


CHORUS


Gold against the soul,
White liberal hate slavery,
Needs Thai labour to clean his home,
Gold erodes,
Erodes the soul,
Erodes the soul.


MAIN RIFF x2 (for 2nd time, change whammy/pitchshifter
to harmonize 2 octaves higher)

1,000 marlboro deaths ignored every day,
And who gives a *** about sexuality.

CHORUS


Gold against the soul,
Working class cliches start here,
Either cloth caps or smack victims,
Gold destroyed,
Destroyed the soul,
Destroyed the soul.
