Blood and Plunder

I make my living off the evening news

Carry ‘round a camera, everything’s in view

I watch a lot of people lose,

Call it blood and thunder

I coulda been a drifter, but I learned to shoot

Got a lotta pockets, but I don't own a suit

Man I wish I made more loot

Selling blood and thunder

Revenue down

We got the toothpaste model

Who comes on at five

She can tell you 'bout the virus with a gleam in her eye

Still people will say she lied 

They want blood and thunder

Can we stream the operation?

Is the GoPro set?

Yeah, the kids in digital got a running bet

Keep the drone from getting wet!

We need blood and thunder

Dirty little live shots

Every other crime

We’ll scratch your eyes out for a piece of the pie

Nobody gets out alive

Without blood and thunder

Riot in the streets,
outbreak on a cruise
no matter what we show
they'll say say it's fake news
It all gives me the Blues
Take your blood and thunder.
