U 2 - Silver And Gold lyrics

In the shit house

a shotgun

Praying hands hold me down

I f only the hunter was hunted

In this tin can town

No stars in the black night

No sun in the daylight

Looks like it's chained to the ground.

Broken back to the ceiling

Broken nose on the floor

I scream at the silence

That crawls under the floor (under the floor).

CHORUS

The warden says

The exit is sold,

I f 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 salve ships hold

They came to collect

Silver and Gold

Silver and Gold

The temperatur 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 there are prisoners

Inside the free (set them free).

LAST CHORUS

A prize fighter in a corner is told

Hit where it hurts - For Silver and Gold

Silver and Gold.

You can stop the world from turning around.

You just gotta pay a penny in the pound.
