[Intro]
What do you believe when everyone is watching?
What do you believe?
What do you believe when nobody is watching?
What do you believe?
[Chorus]
Keep telling yourself that you've been playing nice
Then go beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Keep telling yourself that you've been playing nice
Then go beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
[Interlude]
I know what it feels like
To have my soul sucked out of my body
I finally know what it feels like
To be dead
[Verse]
Your soul can't be saved from the sins you've ignored
And the devil is well aware he is adored
Never forget the excess of a man
Because the grabbing hands always grab what they can
[Pre-Chorus]
What do you believe when everyone is watching?
What do you believe?
What do you believe when nobody is watching?
What do you believe?
[Chorus]
Keep telling yourself that you've been playing nice
Then go beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Keep telling yourself that you've been playing nice
Then go beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
Beg for forgiveness from Jesus the Christ
[Outro]
What do you believe when no one is around?
What do you believe when no one is around?
What do you believe when no one is around?
What do you believe when no one is around?

The title “BLOODMONEY” may have come from a Tom Waits album titled “Blood Money”. One of the tracks Misery Is the River of the World has lyrics like:
God builds a church
The devil builds a chapel
Like the thistles that are growing
‘Round the trunk of a tree
All the good in the world
You can put ins...
