Little Green Faces
people left faceless
or catching cases
on the chase
for those little green faces
stacks are the steps to success
bucks for the best, bank with no bricks
built to outlast the net, heaviest gain
pull for a lift, green till we're sick
hot commodities include a lobotomy
crude when bodies lay as bottom feed
harbor greed, sunk any relationship
no matter how good the company
peter got robbed, paul was paid
neither had a job, the cycle re-played
the thoughts delayed, stop to behave
my brain caved in, hope had decayed
satan de-fanged, broken bells rang
evoking the same change, a token
stays stained, the joker king named
silver is to gold, as bail out is to blame
people left faceless
or catching cases
on the chase
for those little green faces
