April Wine - Blood Money lyrics

(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, nightmares come true It's in all the headlines, you're the worst of a kind, a sinister breed Such a contemptible 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-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
