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 the past   How many more years will we last   Life is just moving so fast   For silver and gold   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   Mm..      For God gave us all to partake   Why can't we just learn to relate   We're pissing on all children's face   For silver and gold   For silver and gold   For silver and gold   For silver and gold
