"Money Power Glory" is a statement on the emptiness of pursuing material possessions and the idea that true fulfillment cannot be found in the accumulation of wealth and power.
The song is a commentary on society's obsession with material wealth and power. In the verses, the lyrics speak to the irony of wanting to achieve a utopian land while living in a society that values money and power above all else. The chorus repeats the desire for money, power, and glory, with the bridge using the metaphor of "dope and diamonds" to represent the addictive nature of material possessions.
The song can be interpreted as a critique of the values of celebrity culture, where fame and fortune are seen as the ultimate goals. The repetition of "Hallelujah" in the chorus can be seen as a sarcastic take on the worship of wealth and power.
It is the eight track of Lana Del Rey's third studio album, Ultraviolence.
