I remember you so well
Talkin' 'bout everybody goin' to hell
Then you looked into a mirror
And then you read the news today
Baker and Swaggart, they pay the price
A movie makes a joke about Jesus Christ
The whole world's crazy
But God has given you a heart of gold
Though the world has left you cold
It's alright if everybody tells you what to do
But don't let 'em take your heart of gold, oh, no
I have been where you have been
Smoke it up, drink it down
Let's all do it again, yeah, yeah
But does it get you anywhere
Or do you really even care
Fifteen years for doin' cocaine
Alcohol's legal but kills your brain
The whole world's crazy
But God has given you a heart of gold
Though the world has left you cold
You may not survive the things
The world had put you through
But don't let 'em take your heart of gold
Don't let 'em take your heart of gold
Don't let 'em take your heart of gold, oh, no
