Chorus
Wildcat money!
Wildcat money!
Karl Oskar
Do you have no shame?
Dare you look me in the eyes?
All this gold you own
As I should have know
Another of your god-damn lies!
This is children's pay-
Wouldn't buy a blade of grass
These are empty things
That my brother brings
This wouldn't do to wipe my ass
Robert
I don't understand...
Chorus
Wildcat money
Karl Oskar
Worthless! Printed by a private bank-a
bankrupt bank!
Chorus
Wildcat money
Robert
No! No, wildcat money is good money!
Chorus
Wildcat money
Robert
I swear to you, they said-!
Chorus
Wildcat money
Robert
Free, you are free
Not a slave, not like me
Choosing your way
As you please
At your ease
Your own master
Soon you will rise
To the crest of a wave
To be one with the sea everlasting
On giant shoulders you'll carry sailors
In tall white galleons
To far horizons
You are going where I long to be
Take me there, little stream
To the sea
