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
