Master And Slave Lyrics


No pennies from heaven, no pennies in my hand
Think your drinkin' wine, dad, it's blood of the lamb
That's no way to treat your son, now is it Abraham?
After he busted his ass for youYou've never known no hunger, never took a risk
Through you know you should, you know you'd never raise a fist
If the boss asked you to jump you know you'd find the nearest cliff
That man talks down to you and you talk down to me too, nowMaster and slave in equal parts
Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar
Now master and slave, God bless you both
I got two for the price of oneMaster and slave in equal parts
Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar
Now master and slave, God bless you both
I got two for the price of one
Such a deal for your only sonWhen will this tension be all over
For fallen sons and fathers too?
I'm down to my last dime, no faith in mankind
Come on, let's swing into the grooveLike Jack Homer backed up in a corner
But I never saw a slice of no pie

Oo, too busy standin' in line
Just waitin' for breadBut the father, he walks the water
He never tossed a nickel to his son
Ain't I your prodigal boy?
Ain't I your pride and joy?Friends and Romans, I'm your brother
I'm scratchin' to hang on
The pursuit of happiness is just a carpetbaggers con
When a can of pork and beans could change my attitude
You won't give it up but I coulda been youWhile the masters and slaves, scratch for pieces of the dream
For purple mountain majesties, whatever the hell that means
They give up on each other and that's the way they get ahead
But I can still see the stars through these red, white, and blue prison barsOh, master and slave in equal parts
Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar
Master and slave, God bless you both
I got two for the price of oneMaster and slave in equal parts
Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar
Master and slave, God bless you both
I got two for the price of one
Such a deal for your only sonMaster and slave
Master, master and slave
Oo, master and slave
