"Golden Rope" lyrics - PRIMAL SCREAM
There's a plague on the land
We're all touched by the man with the plan
He'll take the most for the least
Sell you violence as peace, long-term plan
No perversions are forbidden
In your mortgaged private prison
Cheap booze and coke to dope you
And a golden rope to choke you
[Pre-Chorus:]
Sell yourself
Sell yourself
Tell me, how much are you worth?
[Chorus:]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Till the kingdom falls
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Till the kingdom falls
Don't forget that the debt they laid on you's a bet that they lost
In the brothel casino, they gambled with dreams
Only yours
Now you've got to work much longer
And the money just gets shorted
Capital has colonized us
It rules and it divides us
Leaves a violence deep inside us
[Pre-Chorus:]
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Won't you get up off your knees?
[Chorus:]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Till the kingdom falls
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Till the kingdom falls
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Till the kingdom falls
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Till the kingdom falls
[Instrumental break]
[Bridge:]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, ha
Hallelujah, hallelujah, ha
[Instrumental break]
[Outro:]
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
I know that there is something wrong with me
