Golden Opportunity
Ian Hunter · Overnight Angels [2006]
The kids are ok
They're telling you now
But you're letting them down
Cause you just don't know how
And it's a golden opportunity
I'm spinning in space
I'm laughing away
Your so pathetic
I can just hear them say
It's like a golden opportunity
You better hear it
See hear it
It's a golden opportunity
You better hear it
Get near it
It's a golden opportunity
We reckon they're rats
Now see how they run
My house is so common
And we're dumb we're so dumb
And it's a golden opportunity
Scream all you suckers
Scream all you can
I'm losing my bluff
It's a scam it's a scam
And it's a golden opportunity
You better hear it
You better hear it hear it
It's like a golden opportunity
You better hear it
You better hear it hear it
It's like a golden opportunity
Alright!
You better hear it hear it
Hear it hear it
It's a golden opportunity
Hear it
Hear it
It's a golden opportunity
You better hear it
You better hear it
It's a golden opportunity
You better hear it
You better hear it
It's a golden opportunity
