lyrics

IVORY AND GOLD

How do you do?
This is my crew, and this is the rest of the planet.
I think you and I and this lovely glass eye, might come to some understanding.

Yes, put on those skins. Great, now once again.
I’m sorry, just once more for camera.

Take off your Western clothes. Kink up your fine black hair.
Smile as you strike the pose. This is your cross...
This is your cross of ivory and gold to bear.

Arrows and bows, and bones through the nose.
Mocking to stalk helicopter.
A giraffe in the scene is eating the green,
so someone pumps lead in txo stop her.

They won’t soon forget. You don’t mess with the set.
When Hollywood calls, people listen.

Take off your Western clothes. Kink up your fine black hair.
Smile as you strike the pose. This is your cross...
This is your cross of ivory and gold to bear.

Surprise, surprise. As we watch from a safe distance.
Surprise, surprise. Money makes the world go around and around and around.

Take off your Western clothes. Kink up your fine black hair.
Smile as you strike the pose. This is your cross...
This is your cross of ivory and gold to bear.
This is your cross...
I said this is your cross of ivory and gold to bear.
