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
