Livin' on a razor's edge

Surrender to the power of wedge

Keep running for your life

It's thank you and goodnight

Caught

That's the power of money,
C F G
Paper blood
[Verse]

Ambition flies on silver wings

Searching for a crown

Until they run you down
[Verse]

No matter what you've undergone

In the presidential suite

They'd rather see you burn

Ducking and diving just to make ends meet

To the point of no return
[Chorus]

In the river

That's the power of money,
