diamonds shine like stars
under the ground
little rivers run in rings
around the town
everyone's a soldier
just marching towards the ocean

so we packed up all we had
and moved in '93
everyone is golden
everyone is golden
nobody will love them
nobody will love them
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden

and we took a train
into the town
and stuck another needle in the ground
and if we never made another sound
then we know

so we packed up all we had
and moved in '93
everyone is golden
everyone is golden
nobody will love them
nobody will love them
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden

and i lift you up
gathered around the school
to hear just what they found
they told us they had tried
still the little boy had died
we gathered around to hear
just what they'd done
yeah, they shined
like stars under the ground
and everyone's a soldier
just marching towards the ocean

so we packed up all we had
and moved in '93
everyone is golden
everyone is golden
nobody will love them
nobody will love them
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
everyone is golden now
everyone is golden
nobody will love you
nobody will love you
nobody will love you
