Hey
I don't want to break this down to you
It's a cruel thing that we learn to do

'Cause we all gotta pay for something
We all gotta kill for nothing
Happiness has its price
Less isn't more in this business
Rapacity will be the illness
That we will learn to love

Are you worth your weight in gold?
Going once, going twice, sold
It's all about that cold hard cash hon

Go ahead and cry shallow pools of blood
Diamond noose at your throat
Moral code updates three times a year
Truth that's dipped in gold just as sincere

I'll never ask for forgiveness
I come with God as my witness
I pray he'll wash my hands
It's sad and that's true and the world hurts
Sold your soul that's how it works

We're human after all

Are you worth your weight in gold?
Going once, going twice, sold
It's all about that cold hard cash hon

Go ahead (cash) and cry shallow pools of blood (money)
Diamond noose (cash) at your throat (money)

Give me that (hey oh)
I want that
Give me that
I want that

Go ahead and cry (cash) shallow pools of blood (money)
How long will it last? (cash) how long till you learn? (money)
'Nother stack of sins (cash) to be buried in (money)
Diamond noose (cash) at your throat (money)
