Jesse Welles - Golden Age Lyrics

Jesse Welles Lyrics

"Golden Age"

On the backs of hard time workers
Came the golden gilded calf
Who like a hatchet split the oak tree
Into two unpleasant halves

Come ye golden age of plenty
Just you pray enough if there
The boat that rowed you here is starving
And you promised you would share

In the golden age
Golden age
We're invited
Golden age
Whoa oh, golden age
Get excited

Pain can change a person
Into something you don't know
I've seen entire generations
Feel the hurt and give up hope

Come the sweet smoke of nostalgia
Cheapest high that never lasts
Fills your mind all full of memories
That never came to pass
Like the

Golden age
Golden age
Free from sorrow
Golden age
Woah oh, Golden age
Starts tomorrow

I've seen manifested destinies
From unreason to unreason
In this land you burn or freeze
There will be no temperate season

Will all ships be arisen
In the rising of the tide
Or all voices undesired
Simply drown without goodbye

In the golden age
Whoa oh, golden age
Can you dig it?
Golden age
Whoa oh, golden age
Buy a ticket
