when you're out in the crowd
trying to make it all pay
and we're telling the world
everything that you said
every word that you say

and we're taking it down
every word of it's true
and you got to get free
every shot that you take
and you've got to get loose
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
we got all of the law
and there's nothing to prove
we got all of the dream
yeah and all of it's free
we got nothing to lose
when your vanity fades
i know it's not you
and you got to get straight
every step that you take
and you got to get cool
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
listen we got it all
we're gonna make it all pay
we got all of the dream
and we're telling the world
every word that you say
and we're taking it down
every word of it's true
yeah you got to get free
every step that you take
and you've got to get loose
and all of it's true
it's written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
and all of it's true
written in silver
it's only the blues
written in new words
