(Vanessa Paradis)
How many children must die
How many rivers run dry
How many angels must cry
For silver and gold

(Lenny Kravitz)
Why don't we learn
From our past
How many more years
Will we last
'Cause life is just moving so fast
For silver and gold

(Vanessa Paradis)
For Silver and gold
How much more time
Can we waste
How much more land
Be defaced

(Lenny Kravitz)
Oh Yeah
'Cause soon we will all be erased
For silver and gold

(Vanessa Paradis)
'Cause our earth should last forever
And our lives forever on, on ...

(Lenny Kravitz)
For God gave us all to partake

(Vanessa Paradis)
Why can we just learn to relate
We're pissing on our children's face
For silver and gold.

(Lenny Kravitz & Vanessa Paradis)
For silver and gold

(Vanessa Paradis)
For silver and gold
