(Song) Greed

Folder: 
Music (G)

You drive down the block without paying attention
To those that are living their lives outside in the streets
Their world is a place that's beyond comprehension
But to you they're a number on your receipt

 

It's the world of greed
The world of need
The world of greed
It's sad to see
The world of greed
Where nothing's free
The world of greed
It's the world of greed

 

Our country is heading into a depression
The government is spending all of its money on war
The family next door is closing their business
Cause the people get practically nothing at all

 

It's the world of greed
The world of need
The world of greed
It's sad to see
The world of greed
Where nothing's free
The world of greed
It's the world of greed

 

You drive down the block without paying attention
To those that are living outside in the streets
Their world is a place that's beyond comprehension
But to you they're a number on your receipt
And pretending that the problems will all just go away
You close your eyes hoping it'll all disappear
You wish that you could solve all of the problems
You wish that you could make it all disappear

You wish that you could
You wish that you could
You wish that you could

 

It's the world of greed
The world of need
The world of greed
It's sad to see
The world of greed
Where nothing's free
The world of greed
It's the world of greed

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Not one of my best I'll admit, but the message is there. Everyone is having a tough time, everyone is thinking about themselves and how to make more money to support themselves. But, the end of this song is more about helping out. I know the lyrics don't make that quite clear, but the way the rhythm of the music changes and builds does does.
