Greedy Awful People Lyrics

I used to like my neighbourhood
It really made me feel good
Until they brought a church and steeple
Greedy awful people

They drive those fuckin' awful cars
And go to rich and shitty bars
Greedy awful people

I'm sad and lonely baby
'Cause I can't live among my class
I'm thinkin' only baby
About scorin' your peice of ass

They buy the channels on TV
And visit every place they see
And ruin it instantly
Greedy awful people

They always clap on the wrong beat
They're wearin loafers on their feet
Greedy awful people

I'm sad and lonely baby
Because I can't live among my class
I am thinkin' only baby
About scoring your peice of ass

'Cause I'm upper class
Greedy awful people
They bother me so
I don't wanna know
Greedy awful people
Throw 'em in a hole
I get all out of control
Greedy awful people
This is the last chorus
I don't wanna bore us

Hey!

Greedy awful people

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
