I've always known we were the envy of the world
That's what our songs would say
I used to lay awake and dream of our return
To better days
The Golden Age
Maybe I'm a fool to be singing the choruses of old
Maybe I'm a fool to be thinking their promises are true
Ooh, you can call me what you want
'Cause when all is said and done
The better days will come
Ooh, you can doubt me if you want
But our shadow days are done
The Golden Age will come
We're gonna weather every raging storm
My tune will never ever change
I'll be the shining beacon lighting up our way back home
To better days
The Golden Age
Maybe I'm a fool to be singing the choruses of old
Maybe I'm a fool, but believe me, my promises are true
Ooh, you can call me what you want
'Cause when all is said and done
The better days will come
Ooh, you can doubt me if you want
But our shadow days are done
The Golden Age will come
Ooh (Not a pipe dream, not a pipe dream)
Ooh (Not a pipe dream, not a pipe dream)
Ooh (Not a pipe dream, not a pipe dream)
Ooh, ah
You can try to hold our future ransom
You can try to leave us deep in famine
Doesn't matter 'cause I won't abandon ship, no
Did you know that all our greatest anthems
Write themselves as we return from hell?
You'll be hearing all our greatest anthems
On and on and on and on
When it dawns on us again
The sun will be shining bright again
Did you know that all our greatest anthems
Write themselves as we return from hell?
You'll be hearing all our greatest anthems
On and on and on and on
Ooh, you can call me what you want
'Cause when all is said and done
The better days will come
Ooh, you can doubt me if you want
But our shadow days are done
The Golden Age will come
Will come, ooh, yeah
The Golden Age will come, oh
The Golden Age will come
(Yeah, I know)
(The Golden Age)
(It's gonna come, it's gonna come)
