[Verse 1]
Hold on to your resolve
And your leather book of lies you tell yourself to sleep at night
I hope you choke on the smoke and the smog
From your white lies and your pipelines
You move mountains, but you're no God
It's a vicious cycle, it's a cheap suit wearing Sisyphus
You pushed the boulder up the hill and you don't care who it kills
[Chorus]
Because of all that bloody money
Yeah, you sell your soul and say it's us who need redemption
Ain't it funny, look at all that bloody money, money, money, money
That bloody money, bloody money, bloody
[Verse 2]
Sweat and simmer and seethe
You rеpeat the words you play the part
You watch thе bullet hit the heart
Sit and heel and take what you receive
We're just puppets in the darkest little comedy you'd ever see
And it's funny, and it's tragic
It's disgusting, somehow beautiful
And you can't look away, no
It's spineless you can't ever say
[Chorus]
I don't want your bloody money
You sell your soul and say it's us who need salvation
Ain't it funny, look at all that bloody money, bloody money, money
That bloody money, bloody money, bloody
[Verse 3]
Snorting lines with teenage tears
Watch them lose their golden years
And you call me the one that's blind
But we both see the bodies left behind
[Chorus]
Because of all that bloody money
You sell your soul and say it's who need redemption
Ain't it funny, look at all that blood money, yeah
You sell your soul and say it's who need redemption
Ain't it funny, look at all that bloody money
