Greed |
| A grip on you like an addiction |
| A selfish need for something more |
| Who it hurts is inconsequential |
| When you get what you’re looking for |
| Avarice, the muse that guides you |
| You are the sum of what you gain |
| But it won’t buy your soul redemption |
| The kind of wealth you can’t obtain |
| The pigs are at the trough |
| Their hunger won’t subside |
| Awash in their own filth |
| Awash in their own lies |
| No sense of empathy |
| Corrupt in word and deed |
| I hate you for what you represent |
| I hate you for your greed |
| Think of yourself before all others |
| To hell with grace and charity |
| They just impede your blind ambition |
| They just impede your gluttony |
| The pigs are at the trough |
| Their hunger won’t subside |
| Awash in their own filth |
| Awash in their own lies |
| No sense of empathy |
| Corrupt in word and deed |
| I hate you for what you represent |
| I hate you for your greed |
| Step on the necks of those beneath you |
| And claw your way up to the top |
| But don’t look to me to find compassion |
| When you inevitably drop |
| The pigs are at the trough |
| Their hunger won’t subside |
| Awash in their own filth |
| Awash in their own lies |
| No sense of empathy |
| Corrupt in word and deed |
| I hate you for what you represent |
| I hate you for your greed |
