[Verse 1]
Frozen pipes and empty beds
Derek deals in what's unsaid
Trading flesh for BTUs
While suits pretend they've got no clue
Murphy found me on the floor
Blue lips kissing concrete, wanting more
[Chorus]
Cold blood running through these veins
Sheffield's children gone insane
F*ck your meters, f*ck your rates
We're the power generators
Heat me up just to watch me fall
Derek's got us one and all
[Verse 2]
Needle marks like battle scars
Warming up in broken cars
Sean says "mate, you've gone too far"
But darkness keeps us where we are
System's dead but Derek's fine
Running his thermal assembly line
[Bridge]
They shut off the gas, we shut off our minds
Derek's underground keeps us all alive
Bodies packed like batteries
Selling warmth to stay free
[Chorus]
Cold blood running through these veins
Sheffield's children gone insane
F*ck your meters, f*ck your rates
We're the power generators
Heat me up just to watch me fall
Derek's got us one and all
[Verse 3]
Woke up wired to machines
Murphy's face, what does it mean?
When flesh is worth more than gold
In this kingdom growing cold
Derek laughs from shadows deep
While suits in offices count their sheep
[Outro]
We're all just fuel for Derek's fire
Dancing puppets on thermal wire
One more hit to keep us warm
One more night to weather the storm
Sheffield's burning from within
Derek's empire of beautiful sin
