[Pre-Intro Hook] Money and power… sell me blood money [Intro] I was gonna be the big girl with a fat paycheck Til I lost my little wallet, now I can't pay the rent Wanna buy my next meal, money and regrets Blood money (blood money) here’s the deal [Verse 1] Blood-red city and the steel mills burnin' Tell me why they stole my American Dream I can't buy a piece of the earth without money Everything on fire what a mean machine If I can't make a dollar Then what am I worth now? I don't wanna hear the next lie, it’s all fake shit I'm so sick of pretending for that next viral hit [Pre-Chorus] Your mindless trends, feeding and scrolling It never ends, never ends I feel like I'm being buried alive (No lie, No lie) paycheck goes to the big fat guy I got a credit card but no credit I keep hearin' what they said [Chorus] Money and power I ain't doing well, I'm poor as hell Living inside a prison cell I'm all alone, (alone) I ain't doing great I feel like I’ve made a big mistake And I'm all alone, alone Do you sell blood money?💵 [Verse 2] They try to cut us down But we stay alive Sitting in a castle on a throne made out of flowers Blood drips from the tower The leader's drinking wine while the rest of us just scour Standing in a suit while we stand there and we cower Tryin' to survive a planet where money runs thin And they don't give a shit [Bridge] Life is a novel with no plot, the author is a fraud Life is a puzzle with no end, the pieces that we need They are not coming 'round the bend Life is a painting with no lines The artist left a while ago So now we have no time We don't have a future [Final Chorus] Money and power 'Cause I ain't doing well, I'm poor as hell Living inside a prison cell Blood drips from the tower Droplet on a flower I feel like the world's made a big mistake I'm all alone, alone Do you sell blood money? Do you sell blood money? [Outro] Sell it back to me at half the price Don't you cry My momma said, Don't you cry Just do what you can Keep it movin' Keep dancin' in the ruins
