Sometimes gold it shimmers like spit
For all I'm told it's sugar and shit
Get back on your horse and ride like hell
Can you hear the church tower ring that bell
Town of forgiveness the red and the green
Can I get a witness for all that I've seen
Big boy coming barrels and wells
They dropped the bomb on Madams' hotels
Butterflies erupt like volcanoes
Better kiss a butter cup before she knows
But it all shines up like gold and spit
But I could sworn it looked like
Sugar and shit
All the rocking ships out at sea
Ringing their bells of liberty
Ringing for the broken chains of slavery
Lying on the rocks at the bottom of the sea
Hear them coming marching out the pit
Some are humming some they spit
The bitter rum, the tongue of flames split
But it's all the same just sugar and shit
