Lifeblood Sold

When the call goes out for numbers
And the train to glory leaves
They can try to hold us under
But we won’t be ruled by thieves
Crooked roads and plastic flowers
No good liquor in this town
Paper walls around shiny towers
But the truth will bring them down
Counterfeit spoken
More lies told
Promises broken
Lifeblood sold
When they come to take our brothers away
With their drugs and chains of gold
Let’s roll down to that green river
Wade right in and touch their souls
Grab your coat and bring a hammer along
We can break this world of sin
All the flowers have died around us
But they’ll rise and bloom again
Counterfeit spoken
More lies told
Promises broken
Lifeblood sold
