Motherlode

In the City of Dreams all that shines isn't gold,
In the City of Reason all that shines isn't gold,
We go high on a mountain,
high on a mountain,
high on a mountain,
To find the Motherlode.
In the market place, how we're bought and sold,
In the market place, how we're bought and sold,
We go high on a mountain,
high on a mountain,
high on a mountain,
To find the Motherlode.
Here I stand in the Heart of the Nation.
HA! Hey Hey!
Government got my money, Ju-Ju man got my soul,
Government got my money, Ju-Ju man got my soul,
I go high on a mountain,
high on a mountain,
high on a mountain,
To find the Motherlode.
AND WE'RE BREAKING UP ROCKS FOR A NEW FOUNDATION,
BREAKING UP ROCKS FOR A NEW FOUNDATION,
PICKING THROUGH THE PIECES IN THE HEART OF A NATION
TO FIND THE CORNERSTONE, HEY NOW.
I wake up in the morning and I'm out of control,
I wake up in the morning and I'm out of control,
Send me high on a mountain,
Send me high on a mountain,
Send me high on a mountain,
To find the Motherlode.
AND YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY WHAT I MADE WITH MY OWN HANDS,
YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY WHAT I MADE WITH MY OWN HANDS,
YOU CAN'T TAKE AWAY WHAT I MADE WITH MY OWN HANDS.
