Blood Money Lyrics - April Wine

(myles goodwyn) 

Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap 

No one can say, that crime doesn't pay, that never is true 

It's supply and demand, with blood on your hands, nighmares come true 

It's in all the headlines, you're the worst of a kind, a sinister breed 

Such a contemptable way, to have your own say, you're poisoned with greed 

I said oh no (no no no no), you're completely insane 

I said oh no (no no no no no), you'd take a life for material gain 

Blood money, you got blood on your hands 

Blood money, but still you make your demands 

Blood money, you can't get any colder 

Blood money, but still you're thinkin' it over 

You don't have to be smart, it don't take any heart, least of all, shame 

Some turret stunt, open in the front, your motive is plain 

And for those that contend, with the choice to condemn, I know that you care 

For those left alone, when it's time to go home, and nobody's there 

I said oh no (no no no no), you're completely insane 

I said oh no (no no no no no), you'd take a life for material gain 

Blood money, you got blood on your hands 

Blood money, but still you make your demands 

Blood money, you can't get any colder 

Blood money, but still you're thinkin' it over 

When you're out on the street, and you got nothin' to eat, it's easy to see 

That you do what you can, still I don't understand, how wrong you can be 

Though it's all very clear, that you bargain with fear, there's no justice at all 

It's easy for some, they say the bigger they come, the harder they fall 

I said oh no (no no no no), you're completely insane 

I said oh no (no no no no), you'd take a life for material gain 

Blood money, you got blood on your hands 

Blood money, but still you make your demands 

Blood money, you can't get any colder 

Blood money, but still you're thinkin' it over
