Slaves and Bulldozers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on
What I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook

[Refrain]
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Now I know why you've been shakin'

[Chorus]
So bleed your heart out
And there's no more rides for free, yeah
Bleed your heart out
I said, "What's in it for me, yeah?
What's in it for me, yeah?"

[Verse 2]
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Buyin' lies and stealing jokes and
Laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
[Refrain]
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken

[Chorus]
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free, yeah
Bleed your heart out
I said, "What's in it for me, yeah?
What's in it for me?"
What's in it for, what's in it for

[Bridge]
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel

[Verse 3]
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on
What I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Buyin' lies and stealin' jokes and
Laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
[Refrain]
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
