There is a land of industry
Of wealth and peace and harmony
A confluence of new and old
Where the streets are paved with gold
Work and work day in, day out
Work to build your little house
Hurry, for the night is cold
Where the streets are paved with gold
The government is on your side
Nothing and nowhere to hide
So do and say what you are told
Where the streets are paved with gold
Swallow your national pride
Do not fly the flag too high
The consequences are well known
Where the streets are paved with gold
The echoes of what happened here
Frozen in memory of fear
Are waiting everywhere you go
Where the streets are paved with gold
Do not question, do not grumble
Look to the ground and stay humble
Lest you stumble on a stone
Where the streets are paved with gold
