The Almighty Dollar Lyrics
It's in the life that we lead.
Set up for money and greed.
As if it isn't enough,
We have to use it all up.
Success. Excess. The truth is inconvenient.
All in your head, the reasons; let us forget.
You kept your pride in this land.
How could you think nothings wrong?
You won't be smiling for long.
When it's all gone, gone, we can never go back.
Gone into the end, at my spend,
Watching the rain come down.
Turn your head away, ignore the fear.
Watching the ice crash down.
How 'bout a justice exposure,
How could you screw us all over?
Rape, steal, and murder,
Got us the Almighty Dollar.
The Almighty Dollar.
Poison the air that we breathe.
Change your industrial need.
Destroy the soul that you steal, the radiation is real.
Beat fate, too late, you built and fueled the fire.
You killed my faith my whole earth desecrate.
Deceived the whole human race.
I know you think nothings wrong.
We won't be breathing' for long.
When it's all gone, gone,
We can never go back.
Gone into the end, at my spend,
Watching the rain come down.
Turn your head away, ignore the fear.
Watching the ice crash down.
How 'bout a justice exposure?,
How could you fuck us all over?
Rape, steal, and murder,
Got us the Almighty Dollar.
The Almighty Dollar.
(Guitar)
Dead human disaster.
The point of no return.
No thing like ever after.
Is it too late to learn?
Gone into the end, at my spend.
Watching the rain come down.
Turn your head away, ignore the fear,
Watching the ice crash down.
How 'bout it's just an exposure?
How could you fuck us all over?
Rape, steal, and murder, got us the Almighty Dollar.
The Almighty Dollar.
OMG Ozzy still rocks, and some killer riffs out of Zakk Wylde. This whole album seems to be about ozzy reflecting on how screwed up the world is and this is his take on money and what ppl will do for it.
The OZZMAN LIVEs
this song rocks on so many levels. I love money, but I also hate it to. this album is one of Ozzy and the band's best work!
Not sure where the above lyrics came from, but here are the correct lyrics from thje official Ozzy site:
It's in the lives that we lead Setup for money and greed A little isn't enough we have to use it all up Success - Excess, the truth is inconvenient
Oh hang your head Pilaged and left us for dead You kept us blind and mislead
How could you think nothing's wrong You won't be smiling for long When it's All gone Gone We can never go back
Burn into the air and atmosphere Watching the rain come down Turn your head away ignore the fear Watching the ice crash down
Our father's justice get's closer How could you screw us all over Rape, steal and murder God bless the almighty dollar The almighty dollar
Poison the air that we breathe Chained to industrial need Destroy the souls that you steal - the radiation is real Debate - too late You've built our funeral pyre
You kill my faith Mother earth, desecrate Deceive the whole human race
I know you think nothing's wrong We won't be breating for long When it's All gone Gone We can never go back
Burn into the air and atmosphere Watching the rain come down Turn your head away ignore the fear Watching the ice crash down
Our father's justice get's closer How could you fuck us all over Rape, steal and murder God bless the almighty dollar
Death, doom and disaster The point of no return No earthly life ever after Is it too late to learn?
Burn into the air and atmosphere Watching the rain come
Our father's justice get's closer How could you fuck us all over Rape, steal and murder God bless the almighty dollar The almighty dollar
this song describes the entire worlds problems. starting with the main thing: Money. it starts wars and conflicts, and polutes our earth. however we dont take anything else into value because (note of sarcasm in the song) "Rape, steal and murder God bless the almighty dollar".. what Ozzy is sayin is that we work so hard for the great dollar which is so good in this world yet causes destruction and dismay upon everything. but we dong care: "Death, doom and disaster The point of no return No earthly life ever after Is it too late to learn?", "Burn into the air and atmosphere Watching the rain come"
then there is the two parts that show how we wont care until we see that there is nothing left but money, but what would we use it for if nothing is left? "You kill my faith Mother earth, desecrate Deceive the whole human race
I know you think nothing's wrong We won't be breating for long When it's All gone Gone We can never go back"
Money, and yeah drugs. Ozzy fan for my life. the second lyrics are correct
