Reflecting a deep critique of societal injustices, this powerful anthem serves as a rallying cry against greed and corruption. The lyrics portray the consequences of unchecked capitalism and environmental destruction, symbolized by "blood in the water." The artist emphasizes that the price of such greed is paid by innocent victims - "your son and your daughter." The song also highlights the public's growing discontent with phrases like "the people ain't happy" and "the river has run dry". Furthermore, it encourages listeners to not remain silent but to rise against such wrongdoings. The repeated question, "What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?" challenges listeners to take action rather than being passive observers.
Blood // Water
Lyrics
We'll never get free
Lamb to the slaughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
The price of your greed is your son and your daughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
Look me in my eyes
Tell me everything's not fine
Oh, the people ain't happy
And the river has run dry
You thought you could go free
But the system is done for
If you listen real closely
There's a knock at your front door
We'll never get free
Lamb to the slaughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
The price of your greed is your son and your daughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
When there's blood in the
(Uh, uh)
When there's blood in the
(Uh, uh)
Beg me for mercy
Admit you were toxic
You poisoned me just for
Another dollar in your pocket
Now I am the violence
I am the sickness
Won't accept your silence
Beg me for forgiveness
We'll never get free
Lamb to the slaughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
The price of your greed, your son and your daughter
What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?
When there's blood in the water
(Uh, uh)
When there's blood in the
(Uh, uh)
(Uh, uh)
I am the people
I am the storm
I am the riot
I am the swarm
When the last tree's fallen the animal can't hide
Money won't solve it
What's your alibi?
What's your alibi?
What's your alibi?
What you gon' do when there's blood in the, blood in the water?
When there's blood in the water
(Uh, uh)
When there's blood in the
(Uh, uh)
When there's blood in the water
