Flotsam & Jetsam - Greed lyrics

Greed can't wash your filthy hands

Now you know Just where you really stand

Competition. Man against man

Vicious players, Game of life has no plan.

Candiate for office, You vote for me,

I'm young, smart, smooth-talkin', no one can bullshit me

Promises promises Just another vote.

High paid thief in office, sharpened lies cut your throat

What do you really want What will you pay

To stab another back, To get your way

And grease the painted palms, all gagged and bound

You try to rip me off I'll bring you down

Kill Or be killed, that's what we're all taught

Money, drugs, religion, they've all got their plots

To make it to the big time, then pay off the cops

It's greed that motivates them and only death will make them stop

Guilt tool of the trade, you crushed someone's mind

To get your own way, you were my friend

You've cut the bloodline that never ends
