Money
Culture Wars Lyrics

You make me want to take
You influence me in such a way that I regret everything I do

Back everything I do
Undo everything I did, because of your influence

And all of my mistakes
All the mistakes I made, which you used against me

Is fodder for you
You use my mistakes to win arguments, and make me feel useless

And if there was a rain
If there was anything wrong, it was entirely my fault

It was all my fault too
You convinced me that everything wrong was because of me

You love being right
You love winning arguments, even when you are not correct

And I love being with you
Despite your behavior towards me, I still choose to be with you

I'm in the middle of this sentence
I am trying to express myself, but you interrupt me

Trying to finish what you started
I am trying to complete something you initiated

And coming in to mess it all up
But you come in and ruin it

So, lose all your money, babe
I wish that all the money you have gained by tearing me down is lost

Lose all the way
Lose everything you have gained by making me feel inferior

Tear me down to win
You use my vulnerability to put me down and come out on top

And making it harder
You make it harder for me to express myself

And making it harder for yourself
But in the end, you are only making it harder for yourself

You make me want to hate
Your behavior makes me not only regret but hate everything I do

Everything I do
My every move is scrutinized and criticized by you

If there's something I did
If there's something wrong I did, you make it the focus of our conversation

It'd be bothering you
You let your irritation take over and make a problem out of everything

And correct all my tastes
Even my personal preferences are not spared from your criticism and correction

And swallow them too
You don't just criticize, but also make me feel small for having these preferences

You hate if I'm right
You can't stand it when I am right, even if it is just a small thing

And argue it through
You won't let go until you have the upper hand in the argument

I know it, I wear you down
I am aware of your destructive behavior, and I can only withstand it for so long

I waited so damn long, long, long
I have been waiting for you to realize the damage you are causing for a long time

I made it up
I tried to pretend that everything was alright, and it was just my imagination

You tear me down
But in reality, you keep tearing me down

So, lose all ya…
You always try to make everything about yourself, and I wish you would lose everything you gained by doing so

Lose all your money, babe
I hope you lose all the benefits gained at the cost of my self-esteem
