[Verse 1]
You can change the way you live
You can make it warm or cold
You can turn it up or down
You can change the things you're told

[Chorus]
You can crucify the world on a cross of gold
You can crucify the world on a cross of gold
Oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
You can lie to every face
You can use a stranglehold
You can lose or win the chase
You can sell your very soul

[Chorus]
You can crucify the world on a cross of gold
You can crucify the world on a cross of gold
Oh oh oh

[Verse 3]
You can steal the things you need
You can keep the people down
You can take the best there is
To the shelters underground

[Chorus]
You can crucify the world on a cross of gold
You can crucify the world on a cross of gold
Whoa whoa whoa
Cross of gold
