Money Game, Pt. 2

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Strange times we're living in,
panic and hysteria
Poor man, learn the rich man don't care for ya
[Em]Narcissist mindsets spread like malaria
Sit back and watch the show, America
[Am]Britain split through fickle shit
A government of hypocrites
These [Em]counterfeit politicians sit in parliament,
not adequate (Come on)
[Am]Needlessly bleeding resources all dry
Turn a blind eye if it means a pay rise
[Em]"Oh, what a shame it would be, I would die"
If Number 10 Downing Street burned in a fire
[Am]Only joking, only messing,
don't be stressing
I'm a peaceful adolescent,
there's no need to be unpleasant
Write my [Em]thesis in a rhyme scheme
to analyze the brain
While my finger's on the trigger
of a money game

[Chorus 1]
Oh [Am]rain, rain, rain, rain
A storm, it comes our way
And [Em]those who rise through distorted lies
[D]Poisoning the veins
But we like to point the
[Am]blame, blame, blame, blame
It's easier to blame
But [Em]point the mirror at ourselves
[D]We're all part of this old money [Am]game
[Am](Mmh-mmh...)[Em]
[D]This old money gam[Am]e
[Am](Mmh...) [Em]This [D]old...

[Verse 2]
[Am]Money is a game and the ladder we climb
Turns a saint into a sinner
with his finger in crime
I'll break it [Em]down for you motherfuckers
line by line
This is business economics in
a nursery rhyme
[Am]She sells seashells on the seashore
But the value of these shells will fall
[Em]Due to the laws of supply and demand
No one wants to buy shells
'cause there's loads on the sand
Step [Am]one, you must create a sense of scarcity
Shells will sell much better
if the people think they're rare, you see
Bear with me, [Em]take as many shells
as you can find and hide 'em on an island
Stockpile 'em high high until they’re rarer
than a diamond
Step [Am]two, gotta make the people think
that they want 'em
Really want 'em, really fuckin' want 'em,
hit 'em like Bronson
Influ[Em]encers, product placement,
featured prime time entertainment
If you haven't got a shell,
then you're just a fucking waste, man
[Am]Three, it's monopoly,
invest inside some property
Start a corporation, make a logo, do it properly
[Em]"Shells must sell",
that will be your new philosophy
Swallow all your morals,
they're a poor man's quality
[Am]Four, expand, expand, expand
Clear forest, make land, fresh blood on hands
Five, [Em]why just shells? Why limit yourself?
She [F]sells seashells, sell oil as well
Six, [Am]guns, sell stocks, sell diamonds, sell rocks
Sell water to a fish, sell the time to a clock
Seven, [Em]press on the gas,
take your foot off the brakes
Then run to be the president
of the United States
Eight, [Am]big smile, mate, big wave, that's great
Now the truth is overrated,
tell lies out the gate
Nine, [Em]polarize the people,
controversy is the game
It don't [D]matter if they hate you

[Bridge 1]
if they all say your name
[Am]Ten, the world is yours
Step out on a stage to a round of applause
You're a [Em]liar, a cheat, a devil, a whore
And [D]you sell seashells on the seashore

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Rain, rain, rain, rain
A storm, it comes our way
And [Em]those who rise through distorted lies
[D]Poisoning the veins
But we like to point the
[Am]blame, blame, blame, blame
It's easier to blame
But [Em]point the mirror at ourselves
[D]We're all part of this old money [Am]game
[Em](Mmh-mmh...)[D]
This old money [Am]game
[Em](Mmh-mmh...)
[D]This old...
