| Lyrics:Gary Richrath Music:Gary Richrath | |
| Golden country your face is so red | |
| With all of your money your poor can be fed | |
| You strut around and you flirt with disaster | |
| Never really carin' just what comes after | |
| Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned | |
| And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned | |
| You better stop your hidin or your country will burn | |
| The time has come for you my friend | |
| To all this ugliness we must put an end | |
| Before we leave we must make a stand | |
| Mortgage people you crawl to your homes | |
| Your security lies in your bed of white foam | |
| You act concerned but then why turn away | |
| When a lady was raped on your doorstep today | |
| Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned | |
| And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned | |
| You better stop your hidin or your country will burn | |
| The time has come for you my friend | |
| To all this ugliness we must put an end | |
| Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah...... | |
| (solo) | |
| Golden country your face is so red | |
| With all of your money your poor can be fed | |
| You strut around and you flirt with disaster | |
| Never really carin' just what comes after | |
| Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turned | |
| And your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned | |
| You better stop your hidin or your country will burn | |
| The time has come for you my friend | |
| To all this ugliness we must put an end | |
| Before we leave we must make a stand | |
