Master and slave, God bless you both
Master and slave in equal parts
When a can of pork and beans could change my attitude
Master and slave, God bless you both
For fallen sons and fathers too?
Through you know you should, you know you'd never raise a fist
Come on, let's swing into the groove
Just waitin' for bread
They give up on each other and that's the way they get ahead
Master and slave in equal parts
I got two for the price of one
When will this tension be all over
Oo, too busy standin' in line
I got two for the price of one
Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar
That man talks down to you and you talk down to me too, now
But the father, he walks the water
Ain't I your prodigal boy?
Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar
I got two for the price of one
Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar
If the boss asked you to jump you know you'd find the nearest cliff
I'm down to my last dime, no faith in mankind
Such a deal for your only son
I'm scratchin' to hang on
You won't give it up but I coulda been you
While the masters and slaves, scratch for pieces of the dream
Master and slave
After he busted his ass for you
That's no way to treat your son, now is it Abraham?
Split down the middle drinkin' doubles at the bar
He never tossed a nickel to his son
Ain't I your pride and joy?
Like Jack Homer backed up in a corner
But I can still see the stars through these red, white, and blue prison bars
I got two for the price of one
You've never known no hunger, never took a risk
Oh, master and slave in equal parts
Friends and Romans, I'm your brother
Master, master and slave
Now master and slave, God bless you both
Now master and slave, God bless you both
Master and slave in equal parts
Such a deal for your only son
But I never saw a slice of no pie
For purple mountain majesties, whatever the hell that means
The pursuit of happiness is just a carpetbaggers con
