U2 - Silver & Gold Lyrics
In the shit house, a shotgunPraying hands hold me downIf only the hunter was huntedIn this tin can town,No stars in the black nightLooks like the sky fall down,No sun in the daylightLooks like its chained to the ground.Broken back to the ceilingBroken nose to the floorI scream at the silenceThat 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.Theres a rope around my neckTheres a trigger in your gunJesus say something!I am someone!I seen the coming and goingThe captains and the kingsTheir navy blue uniformsThem bright and shiny thingsYes, captains and kings in the slave ships holdThey came to collectSilver and goldSilver and goldThe temperature is risingThe fever white hotMister I aint got nothingBut its more than youve 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 - silver and goldSilver and gold.You can stop the world from turning aroundYou just gotta pay a penny in the pound.
