lyrics
Sanctioned
They've got my picture
They've got my name
They've got my number
I'm in their game
I got sanctioned by the powers that be
I got sanctioned, now my money ain't free
Take the floor from under, rip it from me, jack
Pop the grand illusion that insurance pays you back
Oh Oh, I got sanctioned
Oh, Oh, I got sanctioned
Oh, oh I got sanctioned
I had a meeting
But I forgot
The girl confused me
They change a lot
I got sanctioned, by the powers that be
I got sanctioned, now my asshole will bleed
Take the floor from under, rip it from me, jack
Pop the grand illusion that insurance pays you back
Oh Oh, I got sanctioned
Oh, Oh, I got sanctioned
Oh, oh I got sanctioned
Instrumental
They work in chaos
They change the rules
Until you wonder
What kind of fools?
I got sanctioned by the powers that be
I got sanctioned, on the grass I will feed
Take the floor from under, rip it from me, jack
Pop the grand illusion that insurance pays you back
Instrumental
Oh Oh, I got sanctioned
Oh, Oh, I got sanctioned
Oh Oh, I got sanctioned
