silver and gold

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
