Cherry Poppin Daddies - Master And Slave Lyrics
No pennies from heaven, no pennies in my handThink your drinkin' wine dad it's blood of the lambThat's no way to treat your son now is it abrahamAfter he busted his ass for youYou've never known hunger, never took a riskThrough you know you should, you know you'd neverRaise a fistIf the boss asked you to jump you knowYou'd find the nearest cliffThat man talks down to youAnd you talk down to me too nowMaster and slave in equal partsSplit down the middle drinkin' doubles at the barMaster and slave god bless you bothI got two for the price of one(such a deal for your only son)When will this tension be all overFor fallen sons and fathers tooI'm down to my last dimeNo faith in mankindC'mon let's swing into the groove...Like jack homer backed up in a cornerBut i never saw a slice of no pieToo busy standin' in lineJust waitin' for breadBut the father he walks the waterHe ain't never tossed a nickel to his sonAin't i your prodigal boy?Ain't i your pride and joy?Friends and romans i'm your brotherI'm scratchin' to hang onThe pursuit of happiness is just a carpetbaggers conWhen a can of pork and beans could change my attitudeYou won't give it up but i coulda been youWhile the masters and slaves scratchFor pieces of the dreamFor purple mountain majestiesWhatever the hell that meansThey give up on each otherAnd that's the way they get aheadBut i can still see the starsThrough these red, white, and blue prison barsMaster and slave in equal partsSplit down the middle drinkin' doubles at the barMaster and slave god bless you bothI got two for the price of one(such a deal for your only son)
