Silver & Gold U2

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 crawl under the door
That crawl under the floor

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 see them coming and going
The captains and the kings
The navy blue uniforms
Their bright and shiny things

Yes, captains and kings in the slave ship 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 got

These chains no longer bind me
Not the shackles at my feet
Outside are the prisoners
Inside the free, set them free

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 got to pay a penny in the pound


* (the original version of this song can be found on the Lp 'Sun City'.
The version played by U2 is on the single 'Where the streets have no name)
