Silver And Gold

In the shit house a shotgunPraying hands hold me down.If only the hunter was huntedIn this tin can town, tin can town.No stars in the black nightLooks like the sky fall down.No sun in the daylightLooks like it's chained to the ground, chained to the ground.The warden says "The exit is sold."If you want a way out...Silver and gold, silver and gold.Broken back to the ceilingBroken nose to the floor.I scream at the silenceIt's crawling, crawls under the door.There's a rope around my neckAnd there's a trigger in your gun.Jesus, say something!I am someone, I am someone.Captains and Kings in the ship's holdThey came to collectSilver and gold, silver and gold.I seen the coming and the goingSeen the captains and the Kings.Seen their navy blue uniformsSeen them bright and shiny things, bright and shiny things.The temperature is risingThe fever white hotMister I ain't got nothingBut it's more than you've gotThese chains no longer bind meNor the shackles at my feetOutside are the prisonersInside the free (set them free).A prize fighter in a corner is toldHit where it hurts - For Silver and GoldYou can stop the world from turning aroundYou just gotta pay a penny in the pound.
