Bloody Money
Bloody Money: Unveiling the Dark Dance of Power and Deceit
Lyrics
Hold on to your resolve
Encouragement to stay strong and determined
And your leather book of lies you tell yourself to sleep at night
Reference to self-deception using a leather book of lies for comfort
I hope you choke on the smoke and the smog
Expressing a desire for consequences on deceit, symbolized by smoke and smog
From your white lies and your pipelines
Criticism of dishonesty and environmental harm caused by pipelines
You move mountains but you're no god
Recognition of accomplishments but denial of god-like status
It's a vicious cycle
Describing a destructive and repetitive cycle
It's a cheap suit wearing Sisyphus
Comparing the situation to the myth of Sisyphus, emphasizing futility
You push the boulder up the hill and you don't care who it kills
Critique of indifference to consequences while pursuing personal goals
Because of all that bloody money, yeah
Attributing negative actions to the pursuit of wealth
You sell your souls and say it's us who need redemption, ain't it funny
Accusing of selling one's soul and deflecting blame onto others for redemption
Look at all that bloody money, bloody money, bloody
Repetition of the theme of wealth's negative impact, emphasizing its "bloody" nature
That bloody money, bloody money, bloody
-Sweat and simber and seethe
Describing emotional turmoil and resentment
You repeat the words, your play the part
Depicting a facade of conformity while witnessing harm and receiving rewards
You watch the bullet hit the heart
-Sit and heel and take what you've received
-We're just puppets in the darkest little comedy you've ever seen
Portraying people as puppets in a dark, ironic comedy
It's funny and it's tragic
Expressing mixed emotions about the situation's beauty, disgust, and spinelessness
It's disgusting, somehow beautiful, and you can't look away, no
-It's spineless, you can never say
-I don't want your bloody money
Rejecting the influence and impact of money
You sell your soul and say it's us who need salvation, ain't it funny
Accusing others of selling their souls and blaming society for needing salvation
Look at all that bloody money, bloody money, bloody
Repetition of the theme of tainted wealth, emphasizing its "bloody" nature
That bloody money, bloody money, bloody, ooh
-Snorting lines of teenage tears
Depicting the consequences of destructive behavior on the younger generation
Watch them loose their golden years and you call me the one that's blind
-But we both see the bodies left behind
-Because of all that bloody money
Linking negative consequences to the pursuit of wealth
You sell your soul and say it's us who need redemption, ain't it funny
Accusing others of selling their souls and deflecting blame for redemption
Look at all that bloody money, yeah
Reiteration of the impact of wealth and blaming others for redemption
You sell your soul and say it's us who need redemption, ain't it funny
-Look at all that bloody money
