Greed

Greed is a gambler...dropping the dice...high anxiety rambler Roller coaster ride...eyes and ears set to extreme Back and forth up and down...black, blue, and blurred in a blink in the breeze Jokers always looking for that big jackpot...red lights roar and the sirens scream Endlessly searching for that sure fire scheme Stain glass sinner on a winning week Greed is a gangster...pulling big paper and pushing bad bullets Hair trigger henchman getting bigger and badder Rob to get richer...gruesome giant starts to grow Grabbing and getting...never giving back what he stole Teardrops on tombstones...still ruthlessly he rolls Greed is a gold digger...Pearl necklace on a pig Smooth and sexy swine Drunk on diamonds and dollars...demoness dressed so divine Keep taking until it's all took Corrupt with the coochie...that cutie's a crook Sweat stains on the silver spoon Her shadows turn to slaves Prostitute her pride but she's still getting paid Greed runs out of gas and leaves it's victims burned and bashed Lies get told like whips and lashes leaving you cashed out cold just like a hot check Greed always gets another to do its dark bidding so it can live longer and keep on sinning Greed says the grass is always greener on the other side of the hole Greedy death is what you get when your master is more
