Cherry Poppin' Daddies: Master & Slave

No pennies from Heaven, no pennies in my hand
Think you're drinkin' wine, Dad? It's blood of the lamb
That's no way to treat your son, now is it Abraham?
After he busted his ass for you

You've never known no hunger, never took a risk
Though you know you should you know you'd never raise a fist
If a boss says to you to jump you know you'd find the nearest cliff
That man talks down to you, and you talk down to me too now

Master and slave in equal part
Split down the middle, drinkin' doubles at the bar now
Master and slave, God bless you both
I got two for the price of one

Master and slave in equal part
Split down the middle, drinkin' doubles at the bar now
Master and slave, God bless you both
I got two for the price of one
Such a deal for your only son

When will this tension be all over
For fallen sons and fathers too?
I'm down to my last dime, no faith in mankind
C'mon, let's swing into the groove

Like Jack Horner, wrapped up in a corner, but I never saw a slice of no pie
Ooh, to be just standing in line just when I'm around
But the father, he walks the water, never tossed a nickel to his son
Ain't I your prodigal boy? Ain't I your pride and joy?

Friends and Romans, I'm your brother, I'm a-scratchin' to hang on
The pursuit of happiness is just a carpetbagger's con
When a can of pork and beans can change my attitude
You won't give it up, but I coulda been you

While the masters and the slaves scratch for pieces of the dream
For purple mountains' majesties whatever the Hell that means
They give up on each other and that's the way they get ahead
But I can still see the stars through these red white and blue prison bars!

Oh master and slave in equal part
Split down the middle, drinkin' doubles at the bar now
Master and slave, God bless you both
I got two for the price of one

Master and slave in equal part
Split down the middle, drinkin' doubles at the bar now
Master and slave, God bless you both
I got two for the price of one
Such a deal for your only son

Master and slave
Master, master and slave
Ooh master and slave
