Lyrics
Your Greed Is Gonna Get You
I'm sorry that I ever met you
Your Sin is gonna catch you
One day when no one's looking at you
Who you fooling now?
What you gonna steal this time?
Commit another Crime!
Think you've dotted all the i's
But your greed is gonna get you
You're not such a Big Shot are you
I won't feel sorry for you
Prison time, looking at you
Who you killing NOW?
Who'll you blame it on this time?
Messin with the pills
One day it'll all be on the line
Cause your Greed is gonna Get you
the police will be looking at you
your sin, is gonna catch you
prison time will be looking right at you
Bridge
How low can you go
Always breaking your all time low
You can't get no satisfaction
And, that's a typical reaction
It's a psychopath distraction
No Remorse, and No Retractions
Outro
But your Greed is gonna get you
Your Greed is gonna Wreck You---------------
