Joe Rockhead Greed Lyrics

Greed Lyrics

Introductions were made at the age of fifteen

By a suicidal prophet in a
halcyon limousine

Fueled by the agents that help us slow down the ride

I'll take a shotgun position till the day I die

You wanna come into my
house you wanna cut off my hair

Tell me what to do and tell me what to
wear

Come up to me and say you'll fill my needs

And then watch me
bleed



Cooling out in the bloodshot blaze of the summer sun

Out to give this life a chance and have me a little fun

Whoever told
the truth they told the truth when they lied

When you're a walking
approximation of Mr. Hyde

Rice paper walking your way to the top of the
pile

In a see through world full of cellophane smiles

They come up
to you and say they'll fill your need

Then watch you bleed



They got a name for it

Greed



Now I'm rolling through town
in that self same limousine

With a couple of coked up beauties that I
ain't never seen

Oh I feel like I'm on a roll Hyde's doing the talking
and I'm outta control

And what I have learned in ten thousand days

There's no way out of this fucking maze

They'll cone up to and say
they'll fill your need



And life is much harder than I thought it
would be

Than when I first heard it explained to me

When the
questions were all simple and all cut and dried

And they're weren't no
talking about the other side

Well I'm getting sick and tired of the whole
damn system

Line the greedy motherfuckers up and then I'll cold fist
'em

Come up and say they'll fill your needs

Then watch you bleed



They got a name for it

Greed
