Blood // Water Lyrics
[Chorus]
We'll never get free, lamb to the slaughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
The price of your greed is your son and your daughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
[Verse 1]
Look me in my eyes
Tell me everything's not fine
Oh, the people ain't happy
And the river has run dry
You thought you could go free
But the system is done for
If you listen real closely
There's a knock at your front door
[Chorus]
We'll never get free, lamb to the slaughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
The price of your greed is your son and your daughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
[Drop]
When there's blood in the
(Oh, oh)
When there's blood in the
(Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
Beg me for mercy
Admit you were toxic
You poisoned me just for
Another dollar in your pocket
Now I am the violence
I am the sickness
Won't accept your silence
Beg me for forgiveness
[Chorus]
We'll never get free, lamb to the slaughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
The price of your greed is your son and your daughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
[Drop]
When there's blood in the water
(Oh, oh)
When there's blood in the
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
[Bridge]
I am the people
I am the storm
I am the riot
I am the swarm
When the last tree's fallen
The animal can't hide
Money won't solve it
What's your alibi? (Alibi, alibi)
What's your alibi? (Alibi, alibi)
What's your alibi? (Alibi, alibi)
What you gon' do when there's blood in the
Blood in the water?
[Drop]
When there's blood in the water
(Oh, oh)
When there's blood in the
(Oh, oh)
When there's blood in the water
