Lyrics

CULTURE OF EASY MONEY

Illegal sex,
Illegal drugs,
Illegal gambling,
Looked over by thugs,
It's the culture,
Of easy money.

Hooker comes over,
Plays with your head,
Maybe she'll slit your throat,
While you're in bed,
In the culture,
Of easy money.

But when you're high yeah,
You can't slow down,
You touch the sky
And then your plane lands down.
You catch a fast car across this town,
You'll need that gun because
It's goin' down.

Knock on your door,
Your payment's due,
If you ain't got the cash,
Your life is through.
In the culture,
Of easy money.

Your friend is gone,
Your friend is dead,
His life was short,
Bullet in his head.
In the culture,
Of easy money.

Poppies keep growing,
In Afghan fields,
Uncle Sam's
Trying to make good his deals.
In the culture,
Of easy money.

Pay off the lobby,
To keep it illegal,
Take your competitors down
With a sniff from a beagle.
In the culture.
Of easy money.

Legalize sex,
Legalize drugs,
Legalize gambling,
Now there ain't no thugs
No more culture,
Of easy money.

Just cocaine babies.
No there ain't no
There ain't no end,
To the culture,
Of easy money.
