Greed

Sometimes I wonder, wonder and wonder Why man, why he falls so low Give him the abundance of water He would ask for the Land of drought Give him a full bowl of tasty meat He would ask for a calabash of army worms Give him the way to a happy life He would ask for the way to sudden death Give him the path to peace He would ask for the path to war Give him the power to lead He would ask for the power to corrupt Give him eternity in heaven He would ask for eternity in hell Give him a kingdom He would ask for a shed Give him the blessing of God He would ask for the curse of the devil Oh yea, give him something And he would ask for everything Man oh man, man oh man No matter how you treat him No matter what you give him He will never be satisfied
