I'm caught in a backfire 
On the streets of L.A. 
Never looking for trouble 
But trouble's headin' my way 

What can we do to stop this evil game 
Politicians won't take this away 
No, no, no, no, no, no! 

I'ts Blood Money! (Blood Money!) 
Blood Money's got a hook on you 
Greed for Money! (Blood Money!) 
It'll get the best of you 

Running for cover, 
Heard a deadly scream 
And the bullets were flying 
This ain't no childhood dream 

Look inside my crystal ball, it's plain to see 
Pleasure that comes from pain, condenscending over me 
Our eyes don't see the mysteries of this empty world 
Possession of guilt or shame, just the endless deadly lies 

Blood Money!
