Money Power Glory
Lana Del Rey Lyrics

You say that you wanna go
To a land that's far away
How are we supposed to get there
With the way that we're living today?

You talk lots about God
Freedom comes from the call
But that's not what this bitch wants
No what I want at all

I want money, power and glory
I want money and all your power, all your glory
Alleluia, I wanna take you for all that you got
Alleluia, I'm gonna take them for all that they got

The sun also rises on those who fail to call
My life, it comprises of losses and wins and fails and falls
I can do it if you really, really like that
I know what you really want, b-baby
I can do it if you think you like that
You should run, boy, run

I want money, power and glory
I want money and all your power, all your glory
Alleluia, I wanna take you for all that you got
Alleluia, I'm gonna take them for all that they got

Dope and diamonds
Dope and diamonds
Diamonds
Dope and diamonds
Dope and diamonds
That's all I want

Dope and diamonds
Dope and diamonds
Diamonds
Dope and diamonds
Dope and diamonds
Diamonds

I want money, power and glory
I want money and all your power, all your glory
Alleluia, I wanna take you for all that you got
Alleluia, I'm gonna take them for all that they got

In “Money Power Glory”, Lana plays the blasphemous seductress that’s trying to lead a man of faith astray.

"I laid [this track] down with someone I’d never met before, Greg Kurstin, and I just wrote it at a time when I was feeling really frustrated. When I felt like all anybody was going to allow me was, if I was lucky, money. And then power in the form of infamy, rather than fame. And It was just more of a sarcastic response, psychologically, just to what I felt was going on."
