We Buy Gold Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We live twice as long
And stay together half as much
Get married too damn young
And when we do, it ain't just once
The newsman says the world's a mess, if you want proof
The ice is melting, bees are leaving, population's through the roof

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a million reasons we're better off alone
But when it's all said and done

[Chorus]
We buy gold
Carve our names into the band
Say a vow, say a prayer
Slip it on each other's hand
Tie some tin cans to the car
Drive away and cross our hearts
In a world where nothing's sure, but growing old
We buy gold

[Verse 2]
We know twice as much
But we still don't have a clue
How to find real love
If it ain't finding you
The song has changed since the days of Jack and Diane
Tore their dreams down, put a highway through the heart of the heartland [Pre-Chorus]
There's a million reasons we're better off alone
But when it's all said and done

[Chorus]
We buy gold
Carve our names into the band
Say a vow, say a prayer
Slip it on each other's hand
Tie some tin cans to the car
Drive away and cross our hearts
In a world where nothing's sure, but growing old
We buy gold

[Bridge]
If you're looking for a sure-fire guarantee, you won't find one
But when it's all said and done
We buy gold
We buy gold

[Chorus]
We buy gold
Carve our names into the band
Say a vow, say a prayer
Slip it on each other's hand
Tie some tin cans to the car
Drive away and cross our hearts
In a world where nothing's sure, but growing old
We buy gold
We buy gold
We buy gold
We buy gold
We buy gold
