Money, Power, Glory Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Tommy185 

Cover art for Money, Power, Glory lyrics by Lana Del Rey

Lana has said that because of her serious musical style everything she says the media take seriously when in actual fact a lot of what she says is satirical, ironic or sarcastic, like in this case. She has been slated for being material obsessed and I think this song is so obvious it is actually obviously sarcastic, especially the "dope and diamonds that's all I am" part. Also the land that's far away refers to heaven and her life style is not very Christian(drugs, sex, rock and roll) so she doubts her and her love will get to it.
