lyrics
GREED
I have been around this world and one thing I have observed
Trouble always comes around when some fool is wanting more,
When some fool is wanting more
Like you over there, you got a nice wife and she treats you just fine
But, oh no, you got to have a little something on the side
Trouble always comes around when some fool is wanting more
There was Adam there was Eve underneath the apple tree
God was smiling down on them, God was saying “this is good!”
God was saying “this is good!”
Then Eve says to Adam - “come on, baby, take a bite! I’m bored here in paradise!”
Trouble always comes around when some fool is wanting more
Once there was a president everybody loved that man
He was smart, yeah, he was sharp, he was gonna do a little good
Old Bill was gonna do a little good
There he was the most powerful man in the world under his desk with some big-eyed girl
Trouble always comes around when some fool is wanting more
Geithner, Paulson and Bernanke had lots of friends over in banking
And when the system started tanking they said “What can we do?”
Oh, “What can we do?”
They told the American people this is so complicated you will never understand
But we’re gonna take all of your money and give it too our friends
(You know I understand THAT!)
Trouble always comes around when some fool is wanting more
There are seven deadly sins, they say that pride’s the worst of them
I tell you what I don’t agree, I think the worst sin is greed
I think the worst sin is greed
‘Cause greed will make the rich steal from the poor
Greed will make us send our sons and daughters off to war
Trouble always comes around when some fool is wanting more
Trouble always comes around when some fool is wanting more
Trouble always comes around when some fool is wanting more
