Silver And Gold

This ole world keeps turning

Telling me what’s for my best

They say I need a fancy car

And a Park Avenue address

They say I need a vacation

It will only cost my soul

I don’t need any of that

Cause I’m richer than they know

You can have your silver

You can have your gold

You can have your mansions

With all that they can hold

Just give me some space

Where I can be me

If I’ve got that and a little peace

Then I’ve got all I need

That big ole church needs money

But never offers any help

And if you come knocking

They’ll send you somewhere else

They tell you what is right

And what you should believe

But you won’t need them

If you pick up the book and read

You can have your silver

You can have your gold

You can have your mansions

With all that they can hold

Just give me some space

Where I can be me

If I’ve got that and a little peace

Then I’ve got all I need

Now the government makes the rules

But play by different ones than you

They can do what they want

And they play us all for fools

There’s no right and there’s no left

There’s only them and there’s you

If we fight among ourselves

They can do as they choose

So tell ‘em

You can have your silver

You can have your gold

You can have your mansions

With all that they can hold

Just give me some space

Where I can be me

If I’ve got that and a little peace

Then I’ve got all I need

You can have your silver

You can have your gold

You can have your mansions

With all that they can hold

Just give me some space

Where I can be me

If I’ve got that and a little peace

Then I’ve got all I need
