Harder than gold — Sound Money Records — lyrics
Gold came out the mountain
men went in and died
Kings kept it in their counting rooms
clipped the coins and lied
More holes, more gold, more lies to fill the mold
but I found something colder, friend...
Harder than gold (harder than gold)
Harder than gold (harder than gold)
Can't dig it, can't clip it
can't melt it in the mold
what I got is harder
harder than gold
They found gold in the rivers
found it in the stars
Every time they find some more
they’re shaving down your bars
But there's a number written that no hand can override
the last one's already spoken for
and mercy, how they've tried...
Harder than gold (harder than gold)
Harder than gold (harder than gold)
Can't dig it, can't clip it, can't melt it in the mold
what I got is harder, harder than gold
You can take a man's wages...
You can take a man's land...
You can empty out his pockets
with a pen in your hand...
But there's a thing he can carry in his head down any road
twelve little words the border guards will never, ever hold
Storms don't make more lightning
time don't make more past
Everything they promised me
was never built to last
So let 'em run the presses till the rivers all run cold
I'll be standing on the only rock...
HARDER THAN GOLD (harder than gold)
HARDER THAN GOLD (harder than gold)
Can't seize it, can't freeze it
can't water down what's whole
what I got is harder, harder than gold!
Gold was the king
for five thousand years...
...long live the king
