Silver and Gold Lyrics

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 the past
How many more years will we last
Life is just moving so fast
For silver and gold
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
Mm..

For God gave us all to partake
Why can't we just learn to relate
We're pissing on all children's face
For silver and gold
For silver and gold
For silver and gold
For silver and gold

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
