Livin' on a razor's edge
Sharper than a knife
Surrender to the power of wedge

Keep running for your life
You don't need no periscope
You won't need second sight

It'll come at you so fast my friend
It's thank you and goodnight


Caught in the river
You can't stop the flood
Well that's the power of money

Paper blood

Ambition flies on silver wings

Searching for a crown
King of kings they pull the strings
'Till they run you down

No matter what you've undergone
The measure of success
Is how much you can charge it on

American Express

Caught in the river

You can't stop the flood
Well that's the power of money
Paper blood


You don't need to drive a car
And you don't need a house

And you don't need a guiding star
When living like a mouse
In the presidential suite

They'd rather see you burn
Ducking and diving
Just to make ends meet

To the point of no return

Caught in the river

You can't stop the flood
Well that's the power of money
Paper blood
