Songtexte: Tom Cochrane. Tom Cochrane & Red Rider. Ashes To Diamonds.

I've seen enough, the next time you better stay loose
There's plenty of government action in the neighborhood
It's a general uprisin', see the men in gold
The PM's bad man says, "Give me one at a time"

Ashes to diamonds
Taken all they find, turning blood to gold
They won't let go

So damned hot, the next time you better slow down
If they catch you near the border
Then it's nothing short of dead or alive

Got your number, son, now well
Get yourself the better to do, we'll get your Capetown buddy
Then we're gonna take you out for a ride

Ashes to diamonds
Taken all they find, turning blood to gold
Ashes to diamonds
Taken all they find, turning blood to gold
Won't let go

The moon is on the horizon, this time you better stay low
There's nothing short of heaven
Going to help you when this hell starts to blow

There's a freeze on the lines here
Nothing gets in or gets out, the only thing you see
Is what they show you in the government news

Ashes to diamonds
Taken all they find, turning blood to gold
They won't let go

Ashes to diamonds, blood to gold
Ashes to diamonds, blood to gold
Ashes to diamonds, blood to gold

Ashes to diamonds, blood to gold
Ashes to diamonds, blood to gold
Ashes to diamonds, blood to gold
