blood money

no-one can say

that crime doesn't pay

that never is true

it's supply and demand

with blood on your hands

nightmares come true

it's in all the headlines

you're the worst of a kind

a sinister breed

such a contemptible way

to have your own say

you're poisoned with greed

i said

oh

no

you're completely insane

i said

oh

no

you'd take a life for material gain

blood money

you got blood on your hands

blood money

but still you make your demands

blood money

you can't get any colder

blood money

but still you're thinkin' it over

you don't have to be smart

it don't take any heart

least of all

shame

some turret stunt

open in the front

your motive is plain

and

for those that contend

with the choice to condemn

i know that you care

for those left alone

when it's time to go home

and nobody's there

i said

oh

no

you're completely insane

i said

oh

no

you'd take a life for material gain

blood money

you got blood on your hands

blood money

but still you make your demands

blood money

you can't get any colder

blood money

but still you're thinkin' it over

when you're out on the street

and you got nothin' to eat

it's easy to see

that you do what you can

still i don't understand

how wrong you can be

though it's all very clear

that you bargain with fear

there's no justice at all

it's easy for some

they say the bigger they come

the harder they fall

i said

oh

no

you're completely insane

i said

oh

no

you'd take a life for material gain

blood money

you got blood on your hands

blood money

but still you make your demands

blood money

you can't get any colder

blood money

but still you're thinkin' it over
