[VERSE 1]
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
[VERSE 2]
Crooked roads and plastic flowers
No good liquor in this town
Paper walls around shiny towers
But the truth will bring them down
[Chorus]
Counterfeit spoken
More lies told
Promises broken
Lifeblood sold
[VERSE 3]
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
[VERSE 4]
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
[Chorus]
Counterfeit spoken
More lies told
Promises broken
Lifeblood sold
