|
In the shit house, a shotgun |
|
Praying hands hold me down |
|
If only the hunter was hunted |
|
In this tin can town, |
|
No stars in the black night |
|
Looks like the sky fall down, |
|
No sun in the daylight |
|
Looks like it's chained to the ground. |
|
Broken back to the ceiling |
|
Broken nose to the floor |
|
I scream at the silence |
|
That crawls under the door (under the floor). |
|
Chorus: |
|
The warden says, |
|
'The exit is sold,' |
|
If you want a way out - silver and gold. |
|
Silver and gold. |
|
There's a rope around my neck |
|
There's a trigger in your gun |
|
Jesus say something! |
|
I am someone! |
|
I seen the coming and going |
|
The captains and the kings |
|
Their navy blue uniforms |
|
Them bright and shiny things |
|
Yes, captains and kings in the slave ships hold |
|
They came to collect |
|
Silver and gold |
|
Silver and gold |
|
The temperature is rising |
|
The fever white hot |
|
Mister I ain't got nothing |
|
But it's more than you've got |
|
These chains no longer bind me |
|
Nor the shackles at my feet |
|
Outside are the prisoners |
|
Inside the free (set them free). |
|
A prize fighter in a corner is told |
|
Hit where it hurts - silver and gold |
|
Silver and gold. |
|
You can stop the world from turning around |
|
You just gotta pay a penny in the pound. |
