Lyrics
Greed
Give me the reason
why the politician man loves to lie
Give me the reason
Why they watch us fight and die, and blame the other guy, We don't know why
Give me the reason
Why the people on the street ain't got enough to eat
Give me the reason
Why they won't let us grow our wheat. It's deceit
Greed, Greed, Greed, Greed, We gotta put a stop to this Greed
Greed, Greed, Greed, We gotta put a stop, we gotta put a stop to this greed
Greed, Greed, Greed, Greed, We gotta put a stop to this Greed
Greed, Greed, Greed, Greed, Way oh Eee.
(We got the fever cause they give us the heat)
Give me the reason
Why we poison the air and the water we drink
Give me the reason
Well, there is no reason, We don't need to think, Just pour it down the sink
Give me the reason
why we keep the score, With the folks next door
Give me the reason
And no matter how much we get, We just want more
(Chorus)
(I want it all and I want it now)
(I don't really care how, Oh leave me it, oooh none for you, Please)
It's time to see the light, Don't compromise the way we say,
it's time to cure our eyes
It's up to you, No time to think, Just time to do, Something new
Let's draw a new design, one at a time,
We pave the way, It's time to end the crime
Don't be afraid, Time to fix this mess We've made
(Chorus)
(Burn in hell, We can do it now)
(Oooh We've got a fever, These are ways, that will mean nothing)
(I'm comin' up, and we got the heat)
( You'll die in hell, no no no, Cause your liein')
(We gotta stop this madness)
