Doing It for the Money

Lyrics

Just close your eyes
 We're gonna run this blind
 We live our lives
 Yeah, we're not wastin' time
 Maybe we lost our minds
 We're gonna get, gonna get
 Get what we can
 But we're not doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Is it wrong to write the rules?
 We gotta strike a match and light the fuse
 ♪
 Now I'm never lookin' back
 It's time to leave the future in the past
 I said it doesn't matter where I go
 I am calling all the poets in the battle
 I am shouting to the world
 Let 'em know that we won't
 Be afraid to step into the fight
 When you can't see the light
 So close your eyes
 We're gonna run this blind
 We live our lives
 Yeah, we're not wastin' time
 Maybe we lost our minds
 We're gonna get, gonna get
 Get what we can
 But we're not doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Well, if you're down then soldier up
 You better learn to shoot or learn to duck
 ♪
 There's no retreat and no escape
 If we keep dreamin' while we're wide awake
 I said it doesn't matter where I go
 I am calling all the prophets into battle
 I am never gonna change who I am
 I won't bend under the pressure when my back's on the ropes
 I said it doesn't matter where I go
 I am staring down the barrel of a gun
 We are shouting to the world
 Let 'em know that we are
 Not afraid to step into the fight
 When you can't see the light
 So close your eyes
 We're gonna run this blind
 We live our lives
 Yeah, we're not wastin' time
 Maybe we lost our minds
 We're gonna get, gonna get
 Get what we can
 But we're not doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Well, it's a silicon rush
 And I'm addicted
 I don't understand
 When it starts I can switch
 Saying what I won't do
 The pleasure comes as pain, too
 But mostly it's an afterthought
 And it's slowly comin' after you
 So close your eyes
 We're gonna run this blind
 We live our lives
 Yeah, we're not wastin' time
 Maybe we lost our minds
 We're gonna get, gonna get
 Get what we can
 But we're not doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 Doin' it for the money
 
 Just close your eyes
 We're gonna run this blind
 We live our lives
 Yeah, we're not wastin' time
 Maybe we lost our minds
 We're gonna get, gonna get
 Get what we can

 Doin' it for the money
