If You Want Blood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
it's criminal
there ought to be a law
criminal
it ought to be a whole lot more
you get nothin' for nothin'
baby, who can you trust?
i got what you want
and, baby, you got the lust
if you want blood
baby you got it
if you want blood
you got it
blood in the streets
blood on the rocks
blood in the gutter
every last drop
you want blood
it's animal
livin' in a human zoo
animal
all the shit they toss to you
feelin' like a prisoner
locked in a cage
thrown to lions
on a second phase
if you want blood
baby, you got it
if you want blood
you got it
blood in the sheets
blood in the sky
blood in the gutter
every last drop
you want blood
