I always thought the second line was "all we ever got was Gold". It made me think the song was about human greed. No matter how much you have "gold, jelly for breakfast, being the cream" of the crop socially, you still want more "everything". And the rest of us Factorytown have-nots eating sandwhich bars, barbed wire, and squash over and over desire to be that haves. Greed on all levels. No matter what you are given, you always want more.

@TdyYrLove I always thought the second line was “all we ever got was cold“. Because Gold would be a good thing.
