Lifeblood Sold by Western Centuries Lyrics

[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
