Gold Bread
Where does the quote: “a pound of gold will buy a loaf of bread” come from? and mean?
I heard it in a song, I think…..
Probably the Larry Norman evangelical song about missing the Rapture, “I Wish We’d All Been Ready” (http://www.mtv.com/lyrics/norman_larry/i_wish_we_d_all_been_ready/17620679/lyrics.jhtml )
The children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we’d all been ready
So it’s about the supposed aftermath, where civilisation has broken down to the point where everyone is starving, and gold is worthless compared to a scrap of bread.
Pat Boone did a cover of it in 1972.
