Money Rules

Lyrics

Text 1 Sleepless nights and voices coming through the wall Wherever I go, they call me sick, one and all A junkie, a slut, a heartless one I seek out help and take it—what else can be done? You want my understanding but give me none back You never believe my truth, so I reach for the blade like that Striped like a zebra, I walk through life this way I’m doing my best, but will hope ever come someday? Yeah, I’m the bad one, I always get it wrong But have you looked at yourself, why I’ve been this way so long? Text 2 Love, drugs, sex and money, that’s what keeps me here Friends come and friends go—who can understand me, who can hear? Why must I always suffer? I think of cutting again But then my pride is gone, the pride that keeps me living through the pain Text 3 Never give me love again, never give me pain I miss you so much, my heart, again and again So much that I can’t eat; when they call, I don’t pick up I say, “Hey, everything’s fine,” but death will soon catch up I loved you, but all that’s in you is war At war with yourself, with the whole world—what for? I wonder when it’ll be, yeah, when my time will come The time when I no longer live, when all this hate is gone Am I the reason why I suffer? Are you why I cut my skin? All the hate in this world—who rules? It’s money that wins I can’t take it anymore, I just want to get out Take the Xans, fall asleep, and hope I never wake up I’m in this state, wake up, and everything takes its course Every day the same, no wonder I’m broke, of course If I were rich, I’d have a house Then I’d finally get out Out of this hell, Mom, please forgive me For turning out this way, I can’t do things differently I take drugs every day, you ask why I like it, you don’t understand Take a look at yourself—you’re no father, not even a real man
