lyrics

Cross of Gold

You offered them trinkets – offered them beads,
You offered them blankets – whatever they pleased,
And all they had to do was just… crawl on their knees,
That’s all… that’s all.

You promise them silver - build up their hopes,
You’ll lift up their hearts – you’ll lift off their yokes,
And all they gotta do is just… laugh at your jokes,
That’s all… that’s all.

But I won’t touch your silver,
And I won’t sell my soul,
Ain’t no man gonna nail my hands to a cross of gold.

You dress her in sable so soft to the touch,
A place at your table all the gold she can clutch,
And all she’s gotta do is just… not talk too much,
That’s all… that’s all.

You stoke his anger – throw a little gas on the flame,
You give him a target – yeah, someone to blame,
And when it all gets bloody you don’t feel any shame,
At all… at all.

Repeat CHORUS

Yeah, people are sinking in the promised land,
When you’re hanging by a thread,
You’ll grab a rope of sand,
And when they all go under will they wonder,
Was that always your plan?

Repeat CHORUS
