Deadly committed to balance the acts of abuse and custom made
Ruthlessly cutting down your friends' phones
Legalized paper and perfume
I'm glad that I don't matter now
I'm glad that I know that I was a fool
Leaning under my knees, self-importance just went too far
Should know by now that we are the best
Cause we are silver and we are gold
Silver and gold
There's no need for haste, the light in your eyes will go fast enough
It takes a decent man to carry the weight
Children, they're safe, safe
Human knowledge could never know
So what will it take for the smoke to clear
To give us a chance to prove that our fortunes don't lie in the west
Spirit of man, where are you now?
Cause you are silver and you are gold
Silver and gold
I will see you sometime
We'll pretend that we are forgiven
And in your eyes, when you smile at me
We all will see, we all will see
And I'll see you sometime
But don't you come around here
You might scare my life
I hope it's funny
You're silver and the band is playing
Oh come on baby, let's go downtown
You're always with me
And you're always silver and gold
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
