banks of marble - lau lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve travelled round this country from shore to shining shore
it really made me wonder the things i heard and saw
i saw the seaman standing idly by the shore
i heard his bosses saying
“there’s no work for you no more.”

[verse 2]
i saw the weary farmer ploughing sod and loam
i heard the auction hammer knocking down his home
my sisters and my brothers all throughout this land
i swore we’d get together
united make a stand

[chorus]
the banks are made of marble
with a guard at every door
the vaults are stuffed with silver
that we all sweated for

[verse 3]
my sisters and my brothers all throughout this land
i swore we’d get together, united make a stand
we’d own those banks of marble, with a guard at every door
we’d share those vaults of silver
that we all sweated for
[chorus]
the banks are made of marble
with a guard at every door
the vaults are stuffed with silver
that we all sweated for
the banks are made of marble
with a guard at every door
the vaults are stuffed with silver
that we all sweated for
