Nothing Else Matters

[Intro:]

Hush, be quiet

I think I hear it again

It's the sirens

I think it's time to go in

Says the fathers of this devastating land

Ripped and grabbed by the greedy man


[Verse 1:]

By a so-called man

Who really doesn't care

About the innocent

Killed by his men for a fare

Until he gets what he lusts and thirsts for

Road very deep and the valley is war

The foundation of a mad-man's world

You must have, you must get

It's all greed

Never really cared about the consequences

Just as long as your acres got fences

And so what about the lives you shattered?

You got your money and nothing else matters


[Dialouge]


[Verse 2:]

Another beautiful day within my eyes to see

They're deceiving you my brother

And you gotta believe me

The greedy man, (?) of the needy man

(Not giving a damn what wrong justice costs)

Mostly you see in a third-world country

Where nothing else matters (Nothing?) Just money

And who cares if the plants ain't growing

Just as long as the industry's flowing

Making a buck

Not giving a fuck about the outcome

(Just?) just about his income

Don't even care about the ozone layer

It's dead too hot to travel

Will it ever stop?

Most ain't concerned, I learned, they'd rather burn

'Cause there's too many who give a damn about a penny

So what about the oil that's boiled in seven seas

And the clouds of death smoke that we breathe?

All this pollution for a damn president

Just keep it up, and we'll see what goes next

'Cause it's all about money, nothing else matters

Nothing else matters


[Dialouge]


[Verse 3:]

It was midnight

When the telephone rang

You went to pick it up when you heard a loud *shots*

Peeped out the window and took a long look

The phone kept ringing, so you took it off the hook

Stepped outside, a weapon in hand

Scared around, didn't see a damn thing

Crept with silence, 'cause you could tell

Someone was nearby, cause there was gun shells

Lying all around, to your amazement

Everywhere you looked, there was blood on the pavement What the hell is this, you thought?

Searched around, found your body got shot

Not a second later you heard the word

"Sorry you is dying, mi hermano, mi gente

But you possess something that I need

I must have, therefore there must be a bloodbath"

Caring less if your brain gets shattered

I got my money, and nothing else matters

Nothing else matters!
