Greed

consumption is consuming me
the laissez hasn't been fair to me
a party for the sea is like a funeral for the beach
and there's a crooked line i don't want to take the time to straighten
cause when you do you do realize it's the whole damn world that's bent
here's the mission:
to go omniscient
to run with scissors and skip the incision
the truth, it's got vision but it's got no heart
keep shrugging on atlas, while the market goes dark
everything goes in waves
grasshoppers are gonna party
while the ants are going to save
some teams only want to play
if they get to rig the game
shame greed
one of the seven deadly sins
many will enter few will win
always try to notify the next of kin
cause many will enter few will win
the good news is everybody gets to have an outlet
the bad news is everybody gets to have an outlet
i've been poor and i've been rich
the first one stung but the second one itched
and cash is just a rash without the pleasure of the scratch
you know? until you've had yourself a hurricane
you're going to fret every raindrop
shame greed
one of the seven deadly sins
many will enter few will win
always try to notify the next of kin
cause many will enter few will win
all my gordon gekkos and bernie madoffs
i want to see you
pop your white collars up
offshore accounts, tax heavens, swimming pools! movie stars!
pop your white collars up
everybody, i want to see you
pop your white collars up
you know, very rarely is good art born in the boardroom
you remember that
shame greed
one of the seven deadly sins
many will enter few will win
always try to notify the next of kin
cause many will enter few will win
