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 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.
