Gold Lyrics

gold -finger itches
gold - in the hand
gold - you have to have
gold - for yourself

gold - full train of it
gold - rob the train
gold - murder in the train
gold - get some gold

gold is the sweat of the sun
give me some GOLD!

gold, it glitters
gold, is soft and thin

I'm searching for gold
I need gold just to see
never seen it before
indication of gold
do I see gold?
bloody fingers!
dig! crawl! dig!

gold is the sweat of the sun
give me some gold!

I continue to dig into the earth,
torn fingers, bloody fingers

there's a sun in the sky
nothing has changed
and gold, begotten of the sun
give me gold!
I need it now, oh gold!

I'm still searching for gold - I need gold

and I have to have a chunk of it - hrmm, GOLD!

no indication of gold

just a little piece of gold for me, oh GOLD!

In the core of the earth
I see the glow, this is the gold

gold, gold! oh, gold!

I need gold!

ohh, GOLD!

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.
