Blood Diamonds

In the land of the sports car, parties, and movie stars Along the golden shore A girl renown, she went down To her local jewelry store She was in good health, she was in good wealth That she had for a hundred years Though she had plenty, her hand was empty And she needed to hide her tears She found a ring that shined like the ocean Like she'd never seen before It's a beautiful thing, it's a beautiful ring That helped fund an endless war She's got blood diamonds wrapped around her finger She's got blood diamonds wrapped around her soul She don't know where they came from, and she don't really care to know She only cares about the blood diamonds wrapped around her soul Down in the heart in the land of apart Lived a young man without a name He dug up rocks in an old brown box Without a damn thing to gain One day he found, way underground Gems the size of his hand He'd seen plenty of stones, but none like those Hidden in the sand Yet he gave his Gems to the wretched ones That caused him so much pain They got rich, while he dug his ditch Dying in his chains She's got blood diamonds wrapped around her finger She's got blood diamonds wrapped around her soul And the man that died for her blood diamond, he will never grow old She's gotta blood diamond wrapped around her soul She's got blood diamonds wrapped around her finger She's got blood diamonds wrapped around her soul And the man that died for her blood diamond, he will never grow old She's gotta blood diamonds wrapped around her soul
