V1 You don't give them a break, don't give them a chance,
You elbow him out the way - so you can take full advantage,
So you want some glory - need it that bad.
You grab the birthday gifts - throw away the cards.
Think I got something from you - you have nothing I'd want.
In your own head - you're a real big shot.
Say you're going places or you set some pace
- you've never done a thing that held any grace.
Like you were letting me, giving me a clue
- self-important jargon - no end in view.
You trampled down all friends, lovers
- drawing away light and color.
Now poor Billie Liar your dreams gone to rot.
the cheques in the mail - but you've spent your lot.
What else you want that's mine, my cruel friend,
You cooked it, eat it - hope you like your song.
PCH1 All you've ever done is take, take, take,
But you'll get nothing from me, yeah - you made a mistake.
You let everyone know when there's something you give,
- but you take it right back, 'cos you milk it for years.
CH1 Greed - is who you are, Greed - is what you know,
Greed - is all you see, Greed - and you want more.
Greed - just out for yourself, Greed - take it all, chuck the rest,
Greed - pretends to be a friend, Greed - I'll fight you 'til the end.
V2 I suffered you in my life - no other way I could find.
Now I'm rid of you - something long overdue.
You're a filthy chore and some kind of ho,
You're a waste of space - hate looking at you face
You'll bow right down to smell their cash,
- and when they want - you'll kiss their ass.
You're in a bad way - must hate yourself.
It's got you hook, line, sinker with no one to blame.
PCH2 So just sit right back and take all the credit
But when push comes to shove - then you're going to get it.
It ate you up - you can't stand still,
It wrecked your life 'cos you gave in.
CH2 Greed - is who you are, Greed - is what you know,
Greed - is all you see, Greed - and you want more.
Greed - you want a piece of me, Greed - take all my stupid money,
Greed - as long as you get your way,
Greed - Is going to make you pay.
SOLO/BRIDGE
CH3 Greed - is who you are,
Greed - is what you'll get,
Greed - you ain't finished me yet,
Greed - no more, no less,
Greed - you don't want to be you,
Greed - yeah I see right through,
Greed - you've got nothing to give,
Greed - you're grabbing all that you see,
Greed - I'm so sick of you,
Greed - just what are you up to?
Greed - that stuff ain't good for your health,
Greed - you're going to love it to death,
Greed - for you and no one else,
Greed - you want the more you can get,
Greed - you know no other way,
Greed - has eaten your soul away,
Greed - get out of my face,
Greed - I see it everyplace,
Greed - no there's no escaping.
