"Blood & Money" lyrics

"Blood & Money"

Welcome to the dawning of a dark, dark age
Where deception and dishonesty are all the rage
The Man controls the media, your eyes and your ears
With music made by mother fuckin' Mouseketeers!

Now once upon a time you had a beautiful dream
Well wake up you're just a product of the war-machine
You call yourself a pacifist? You're just another punk
The rich are getting richer, so let's all get drunk and

Sing with the masses, sing with the masses

C'mon, c'mon and give us blood and money
Color T.V.s with super-sonic s-s-sound
Bow down before the land of milk and honey
While we burn your people, burn your people to the ground

Come and watch the death of the American dream
Now the red, white, and blue is the red, gold, and green
The man controls the money, and he starts a war
But fight it? Naw, that's what the working-class is for

So he hides behind a bible, and he hides behind a flag
And he hides behind your brother in a bodybag
He hides behind the covers, yeah cause while he sleeps
He's counting up the bodies like he's counting sheep! He goes...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven-thousand more!
(Who's keepin' score?)

Come on, come on and give us blood and money
Color T.V.s with super-sonic s-s-sound
Bow down before the land of milk and honey
While we burn our bridges, burn our bridges to the ground

Blood and money
Blood and money
Blood and money make the world go round

Blood and money
Blood and money
Blood and money make the world go round
