Cleaning up the wreckage of the past
Is there any more times, will we have to pass the test?
Their eyes have been upon our every move
They're waiting for us, we answer not to you
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, no reason or no rhyme
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, the crime is in their minds
Huddled masses hiding down below
They wait for freedom, for how long nobody knows
We're fearing for the future and the past
We're waiting for the next time they stab us in the back
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, no reason or no rhyme
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, the crime is in their minds
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, no reason or no rhyme
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, the crime is in their minds
It's blood money...
Is there any more times, will we have to pass the test?
Their eyes have been upon our every move
They're waiting for us, we answer not to you
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, no reason or no rhyme
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, the crime is in their minds
Huddled masses hiding down below
They wait for freedom, for how long nobody knows
We're fearing for the future and the past
We're waiting for the next time they stab us in the back
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, no reason or no rhyme
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, the crime is in their minds
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, no reason or no rhyme
It's blood money, we're paying all the time
It's blood money, the crime is in their minds
It's blood money...

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
The song talks of themes of corruption, betrayal, and the ongoing struggles faced by society. They talk of how people must commit devilish deeds to meet the demands of higher powers and also state that the mindless masses are waiting for freedom, but not taking action, never making progress, despite the fact they're struggling for basic rights and opportunities. In this world, people are eager for those with plans to slip up so they can rob them and move upward without putting in any effort, highlighting how corrupt and rotten society has become.
