paroles de chanson The Great Divide - NM

God, please help me
God? There is no god, there's only me
Who are you?
You know who I am
I'm involved in everything
I have made history time and time again
I can change people's lives for the better or for worse
But it all depends on what you want to do with my gifts
People have gone as far as to kill for me
What are you willing to do for me?

Born for the dollar
Live for the dollar
Work for the dollar
Beg for the dollar
Sleep for the dollar
Sell for the dollar
Lie for the dollar
Cheat for the dollar

Steal for the dollar
Fight for the dollar
Deal for the dollar
Play for the dollar
Slave to the dollar
Pray to the dollar
Kill for the dollar
Die for the dollar

Born for the dollar
Live for the dollar
Work for the dollar
Beg for the dollar
Sleep for the dollar
Sell for the dollar
Lie for the dollar
Cheat for the dollar

Steal for the dollar
Fight for the dollar
Deal for the dollar
Play for the dollar
Slave to the dollar
Pray to the dollar
Kill for the dollar
Die for the dollar

I look down and now my shirt's red as fuck
Hands full of blood and heard a pop and felt a burn in my gut
Everything ran smoothly so what the fuck is up?
When the cops struck I was already done and halfway to my truck
But just my luck, to my left a cop eating a donut
To feed the glut' in his gut
Don't be a hero, your time is up
I'm getting out one way or another
Don't make the gangs in blue mourn the loss of another fallen brother

Look at that scumbag
He thinks he can just walk up in there and take all that money?
Does he think the laws don't apply to him?
We own the law, you're fucked

You assholes always fuck up my break
What's this guy doing?
What's he gonna take?
Oh great, into the fuckin' bank
Better get myself ready if anything happens
What's that bag? God damn it
Now I have to trap him
Freeze!

Listen pig, is it even worth it?
I know you fucks don't get paid much
Just look the other way and you get to live
I'm not a bad guy, I just fell on hard times
Before this I've never even stolen a dime

What are you really doing this for? Your wife, your kids?
Is this really what you want them to think is the right way to live?
Easy for you to say, you got a pension
I had my whole life taken away

Look
No you look, I spent 25 years
Sacrificed blood, sweat, and tears
Made something out of nothing throughout my career
That's why I'm here

Born for the dollar
Live for the dollar
Work for the dollar
Beg for the dollar
Sleep for the dollar
Sell for the dollar
Lie for the dollar
Cheat for the dollar

Steal for the dollar
Fight for the dollar
Deal for the dollar
Play for the dollar
Slave to the dollar
Pray to the dollar
Kill for the dollar
Die for the dollar

Born for the dollar
Live for the dollar
Work for the dollar
Beg for the dollar
Sleep for the dollar
Sell for the dollar
Lie for the dollar
Cheat for the dollar

Steal for the dollar
Fight for the dollar
Deal for the dollar
Play for the dollar
Slave to the dollar
Pray to the dollar
Kill for the dollar
Die for the dollar

What have I done? What was I thinking?
Well it's too late now
I'm stuck with the consequences I'm facing
25 to life sentencing
Shit is not for me
I either get away with the money or die trying
My kids will all understand when they get older

The world isn't meant for honest people and it's only growing colder
Always look over your shoulders and read the fine print
'Cause your life can change within an instant
I know mine did and now I got about 40 cops with red dots looking to end it
It's now or never
Oh fuck it, ah!
