"Greedy Man" lyrics

"Greedy Man"

It looks like you have it all figured out
You got all them fancy things
And that big old trophy house
And all you really wanted was a little bit more
And then more turned into more turned into more

Well, there ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of money
But it might do you some good if you went hungry now
See around here the greedy man ain't nothing but a fool
And his money ain't nothing but a cemetery tool
Around here the greedy man just won't do
And around here, the greedy man is you

Yeah the greedy man is you

So let me let you in on a little secret
There ain't nothing you own worth keeping at all
Rat racing for a bunch of fool's gold
And on the way down there you done sold your soul

So just remember what goes around comes around
Stepping on people just to come back down
Well with pockets as deep as grave you win
But the pockets won't save you from the end my friend

Well, there ain't nothing wrong with a little bit of money
But it might do you some good if you went hungry now
See around here the greedy man ain't nothing but a fool
And his money ain't nothing but a cemetery tool
Around here the greedy man just won't do
And around here, the greedy man is you
