EARNED OUR MONEY THE OLD FASHIONED WAY


Back in the day, murder, terrorizing, all forms of violence
The currency used to pay for someone else's Land


Kill'em get them out of the way
Take their gold and silver without delay


Robber baron's fashion-no humane compassion
Kill'em get them out of the way
We earned our money the old fashioned way


Life had no value unless a political faction said it did
Never offered a financial bid
Kill'em get them out of the way
We earned our money the old fashioned way


Back in the day-genocide would hide
Human atrocities endured to procure
Someone else's Land and resources, stolen by covert forces under the auspice
We earned our money the old fashioned way
