BLOOD MONEY
WORDS & MUSIC: Earl P. Reinhalter
I. put on a hard hat,
inhale some lead
where the sky is green
and the money you earn is red.
run to the bank;
it's on the main artery.
give transfusions to
the local economy with...
CHORUS: blood money, blood money, blood money.
the vampire's on his way for
blood money, blood money, blood money.
he'll be here any day.
II. have a cigar,
a trash fire in your face,
shrinking every vein
it can trace.
paying the toll,
Tobacco Road ain't free.
Senator Helms
wants a government subsidy for...
(repeat chorus)
III. I'm assembling guns
and earning my own pay.
I loaded sixteen tons
on a truck that drove away,
bound for barefoot
bodies in the mud.
blood money's easy
when it's somebody else's blood.
(repeat chorus twice)
