So you're dressed in pearls and gaberdines
Like a 20's movie queen
A guilded lily pale and fragile
Hassled by the wind

Well a tragic debutant
You're silver spoon is all but gone

Cocaine and caviar
You're really quite peculiar yeah you are
So beautiful and young
But yet so far from where you are

When the veneer it starts to crack
Your dress is torn across your back

Silver & Gold
Silver & Gold
All that you are
Is all you acquire

Silver & Gold
All that you know
Is Silver & Gold

And all the pretty people
They all stand around you like a frame
Yeah a circle jerk of high society
You know as friends

Well they bore you to the bone
But yet you hate to be alone

Silver & Gold
Silver & Gold
All that you are
Is all you acquire

Silver & Gold
All that you know
Is Silver & Gold

And your daddy made his living
Off the backs of many men
So to get back at your dad
You laid down with each of them
You're the paintrate saint of music
With your pussy and your cash
It's ashame with such good looks
You'd have to be a thing like that

Silver & Gold
Silver & Gold
All that you are
Is all you acquire

Silver & Gold
All that you know
Is Silver & Gold

Silver & Gold
All that you want
Oh it's all that you live for
It's Silver & Gold
All that you know
Silver & Gold
