No pennies from heaven, no pennies in my hand   Think your drinkin' wine, dad, it's blood of the lamb   That's no way to treat your son, now is it Abraham?   After he busted his ass for you      You've never known no hunger, never took a risk   Through you know you should, you know you'd never raise a fist   If the boss asked you to jump you know you'd find the nearest cliff   That man talks down to you and you talk down to me too, now      Master and slave in equal parts   Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar   Now master and slave, God bless you both   I got two for the price of one      Master and slave in equal parts   Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar   Now master and slave, God bless you both   I got two for the price of one   Such a deal for your only son      When will this tension be all over   For fallen sons and fathers too?   I'm down to my last dime, no faith in mankind   Come on, let's swing into the groove      Like Jack Homer backed up in a corner   But I never saw a slice of no pie   Oo, too busy standin' in line   Just waitin' for bread      But the father, he walks the water   He never tossed a nickel to his son   Ain't I your prodigal boy?   Ain't I your pride and joy?      Friends and Romans, I'm your brother   I'm scratchin' to hang on   The pursuit of happiness is just a carpetbaggers con   When a can of pork and beans could change my attitude   You won't give it up but I coulda been you      While the masters and slaves, scratch for pieces of the dream   For purple mountain majesties, whatever the hell that means   They give up on each other and that's the way they get ahead   But I can still see the stars through these red, white, and blue prison bars      Oh, master and slave in equal parts   Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar   Master and slave, God bless you both   I got two for the price of one      Master and slave in equal parts   Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar   Master and slave, God bless you both   I got two for the price of one   Such a deal for your only son      Master and slave   Master, master and slave   Oo, master and slave
