Gold
I was hungry and you blamed me
I was thirsty and you said
I made my choice, I made my bed
And now it's time I lay in it
I was a stranger and you made me
Live in the shadows while you took
Credit for everything I did
Built me a wall and not a roof
You sold me out for thirty silver coins
Sold your soul for every shiny toy
And now you think you can buy your way
So no one else can use their voice
But you can't buy me with your pot of gold
The so called sacred thing that you hold
The reason for all the lives that you stole
But we know you won't admit it
Your treasure's tainted with blood on your hands
Staked your claim standing on stolen land
You could fix it all with a wave of your hand
But we know that you won't do it
Work till I'm bleeding and you say to me
I still owe you my everything
Step on my dreams and still you have the nerve
To say that you don't owe me a damn thing
Try to pretend that you're the right side
Change everything that's in the books
And keep a hand over my mouth
So no one knows that you're a crook
Try to wrap me up with gold and chains
Tell me that this is the only way
That it's impossible 'cause everything in life
Has to be paid
But you can't buy me with your pot of gold
The so called sacred thing that you hold
The reason for all the lives that you stole
But we know you won't admit it
Your treasure's tainted with blood on your hands
Staked your claim standing on stolen land
You could fix it all with a wave of your hand
But we know that you won't do it
But you can't buy me with your pot of gold
The so called sacred thing that you hold
The reason for all the lives that you stole
But we know you won't admit it
Your treasure's tainted with blood on your hands
Staked your claim standing on stolen land
You could fix it all with a wave of your hand
But we know that you won't do it
I was thirsty and you said
I made my choice, I made my bed
And now it's time I lay in it
I was a stranger and you made me
Live in the shadows while you took
Credit for everything I did
Built me a wall and not a roof
You sold me out for thirty silver coins
Sold your soul for every shiny toy
And now you think you can buy your way
So no one else can use their voice
But you can't buy me with your pot of gold
The so called sacred thing that you hold
The reason for all the lives that you stole
But we know you won't admit it
Your treasure's tainted with blood on your hands
Staked your claim standing on stolen land
You could fix it all with a wave of your hand
But we know that you won't do it
Work till I'm bleeding and you say to me
I still owe you my everything
Step on my dreams and still you have the nerve
To say that you don't owe me a damn thing
Try to pretend that you're the right side
Change everything that's in the books
And keep a hand over my mouth
So no one knows that you're a crook
Try to wrap me up with gold and chains
Tell me that this is the only way
That it's impossible 'cause everything in life

But you can't buy me with your pot of gold
The so called sacred thing that you hold
The reason for all the lives that you stole
But we know you won't admit it
Your treasure's tainted with blood on your hands
Staked your claim standing on stolen land
You could fix it all with a wave of your hand
But we know that you won't do it
But you can't buy me with your pot of gold
The so called sacred thing that you hold
The reason for all the lives that you stole
But we know you won't admit it
Your treasure's tainted with blood on your hands
Staked your claim standing on stolen land
You could fix it all with a wave of your hand
But we know that you won't do it
