How many children must die
How many rivers run dry
How many angels must cry

For silver and gold

Why don't we learn

From our past
How many more years
Will we last

Life is just moving so fast
For silver and gold


How much more time
Can we waste
How much more land

Be defaced
'Cause soon we will all be erased
For silver and gold


'Cause our earth should last forever
And our lives forever on

For God gave us all to partake
Why can we just learn to relate
We're pissing on our children's face

For silver and gold
