Money Hungry

Money Hungry

I never seem to have enough
To quench this hunger of yours
As soon as I get paid
My plans get delayed
Because I hand it all to you
All the work I did before
Means Nothing
it went with you, Out the door

You're a monster 
That feeds off my wealth
No matter what it does to my health
You eat a different kind of green
You're Money Hungry
You relish it
Like you're on drugs
You can't get enough
You eat that different kind of green
You're Money Hungry

I can't give anymore
I've been sucked dry
Can't you see it in my eyes?
I'm in pain
The sad thing is I let it happen
So I'm the one to blame

You're a monster 
That feeds off my wealth
No matter what it does to my health
You eat a different kind of green
You're Money Hungry
You relish it
Like you're on drugs
You can't get enough
You eat that different kind of green
You're Money Hungry

Now I'm becoming a monster
Feeding off others
Because I give up what I have to you
Now I need to stop
Before what I have is completely lost

You're a monster 
That feeds off my wealth
No matter what it does to my health
You eat a different kind of green
You're Money Hungry
You relish it
Like you're on drugs
You can't get enough
You eat that different kind of green
You're Money Hungry

You're a monster
You feed of my emotions
I must stop you
Before I meet my destruction

You're a monster 
That feeds off my wealth
No matter what it does to my health
You eat a different kind of green
You're Money Hungry
You relish it
Like you're on drugs
You can't get enough
You eat that different kind of green
You're Money Hungry
