So you're dressed in pearls and gaberdines
  Like a 20's movie queen
  A guilded lily pale and fragile
  Hassled by the wind
  
  Well a tragic debutant
  You're silver spoon is all but gone
  
  Cocaine and caviar
  You're really quite peculiar yeah you are
  So beautiful and young
  But yet so far from where you are
  
  When the veneer it starts to crack
  Your dress is torn across your back
  
  Silver & Gold
  Silver & Gold
  All that you are
  Is all you acquire
  
  Silver & Gold
  All that you know
  Is Silver & Gold
  
  And all the pretty people
  They all stand around you like a frame
  Yeah a circle jerk of high society
  You know as friends
  
  Well they bore you to the bone
  But yet you hate to be alone
  
  Silver & Gold
  Silver & Gold
  All that you are
  Is all you acquire
  
  Silver & Gold
  All that you know
  Is Silver & Gold
  
  And your daddy made his living
  Off the backs of many men
  So to get back at your dad
  You laid down with each of them
  You're the paintrate saint of music
  With your pussy and your cash
  It's ashame with such good looks
  You'd have to be a thing like that
  
  Silver & Gold
  Silver & Gold
  All that you are
  Is all you acquire
  
  Silver & Gold
  All that you know
  Is Silver & Gold
  
  Silver & Gold
  All that you want
  Oh it's all that you live for
  It's Silver & Gold
  All that you know
  Silver & Gold
