Verse 1 With cross in hand they rode the land from the cliffs to the foreign shores No bible verse could save the worst from the fields of blood and gore Thou shalt not kill for it is God's will, a crusade for conformity Spare not the man nor woman or child, who’s not on bended knee
Chorus Gold and Guns will get the job done They're coming for your share so you better well run It’s not what they say, It’s not what they said Why they make their living from the dead
Verse 2 With a love for the crown that knows no bounds, steal the food from the children's hand They did it for the crown, they did it for the flag, the crime against their fellow man A living hell no man could tell, a plate filled with only kale One million fled, one million starved, one million lived to tell the tale
Chorus
Verse 3 White blood spills on Red land but the colors never blend For some it was the beginning, others it was the end With lies and guns and whiskey, they paved the trail of tears Freedom for the ones with flags, fences for the ones they feared
Chorus
Verse 4 A circle is never broken, if you never see the end Brothers who’ve never spoken can turn foe into a friend Through centuries of humanity still stands the Golden Rule That gold and guns will get the job done to take your heart and soul
