Golden Opportunity Lyrics

The kids are ok
They're telling you now
But you're letting them down
Cause you just don't know how
And it's a golden opportunity

I'm spinning in space
I'm laughing away
Your so pathetic
I can just hear them say
It's like a golden opportunity

You better hear it
See hear it
It's a golden opportunity
You better hear it
Get near it
It's a golden opportunity

We reckon they're rats
Now see how they run
My house is so common
And we're dumb we're so dumb
And it's a golden opportunity

Scream all you suckers
Scream all you can
I'm losing my bluff
It's a scam its a scam
And it's a golden opportunity

You better hear it
You better hear it hear it
It's like a golden opportunity
You better hear it
You better hear it hear it
It's like a golden opportunity
Alright!
You better hear it hear it
Hear it hear it
It's a golden opportunity
Hear it
Hear it
It's a golden opportunity
You better hear it
You better hear it
It's a golden opportunity
You better hear it
You better hear it
It's a golden opportunity

Roll Away The Stone

The kids are ok
They're telling you now
But you're letting them down
Cause you just don't know how
And it's a golden opportunity

I'm spinning in space
I'm laughing away
Your so pathetic
I can just hear them say
It's like a golden opportunity

You better hear it
See hear it
It's a golden opportunity
You better hear it
Get near it
It's a golden opportunity

We reckon they're rats
Now see how they run
My house is so common
And we're dumb we're so dumb
And it's a golden opportunity

Scream all you suckers
Scream all you can
I'm losing my bluff
It's a scam its a scam
And it's a golden opportunity

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
