Wrote this song in 1989 and I've never really had a good recorded version of it... until now.

Moses smashed the tablets
and left the pieces lying on the ground
and Pontius washed his hands
and said I won't take part in this mess

Oh, statues of gold
Oh, money that's old
Oh, diamonds and gold
Oh, life and mold

And George the Third, the nut
said I won't let this real estate go
and the Austrian bi*** in France
was living well beyond her means

Oh, statues of gold
Oh, money that's old
Oh, compassion's grown old
Oh, life and mold
