"Greed" lyrics

"Greed"

Greed, obsessed with the finest of things
He takes what he wants, his eyes glimmer in green

Don't wanna be a superstar
Just wanna have a house and car
But in this cruel society
The prices never go down, you see
I keep saving up, while my money keeps countin's less
And everybody keeps sayin' that you're doin' your best
But even talkin' to my therapist is causin' me stress
Because he told me you see

The greatest thief of all time, he walks in plain sight
Some call him a billionaire, but me, I call him by...

Greed, obsessed with the finest of things
He takes what he wants, his eyes glimmer in green
Greed won't rest till he's crowned as a king
From the land to the sea, he'll take all that he needs

Now all I see is his super car
Drivin' round while I'm workin' hard
Everybody's complimentin' him
Lookin' past his dirty sins
He keeps goin' up, buildin' cities out from under the ground
No matter what I do, I see his stupid face all around
And worst of all is when I told my therapist what I found
He said, be careful, you see

Before Greed was a bad guy, he lived a simple life
Then gold fell beneath his eyes, and they all called him by...

Envy, obsessed with the wealth of a king
He wants what you have, 'cause he feels incomplete
Envy won't rest till he has what he's seen
From your head to your feet, he wants all that he sees

So seven sins, don't let them in
They'll all lead to your death in the end
Whether it's lust, pride, greed, envy, or gluttony
Sloth and wrath, don't choose that path
