Now Hiring

You're rolling in the green right now, lying naked on a bed of lettuce Got those nubile maids milking the cash cow, as you float on tequila dreams, thinking it's gonna last forever Money laundering machine keeps churning out counterfeit business window dressing While you sit on your bullet-riddled throne with a drug kingpin flair You killed the last man who sat there, in that blood-red leather chair Violence consolidated the business, now everything is in your hands Got yourself surrounded by a bunch of yes servants No one to dare tell you whatcha' doing is wrong Who questions a man who sits on a bloody throne Shop's open is the street song 24/7 traffic all day long The money flowing in so fast has to stay off the books So you're now hiring the best accountant cooks You're now hiring the best laundromat staffing Those who know how to launder that money clean, turn it into legit stock holdings Got yourself surrounded by a bunch of silent, head nodding people No one to dare tell you whatcha' doing is wrong No one to tell you all that money laundering ain't never gonna wash your sins clean You never hired no one to tell you the truth --- that your killing days are numbered, and your soul ain't bulletproof
