Greed cares not for need - it sows an evil seed
That breeds a bitter harvest of despair
When rich folks search for gain - the poor folks feel the pain
And fear walks softly in the poisoned air
People always say - the rich will find a way
To prey upon the weak and do them wrong
They have but still want more - the practise jungle law
They bring wolves to your door before too long
Chorus:
May we never see such times again
When hope dies in the eyes of honest men
When mother, daughter, son
Cry out, “Look what greed has done”
May we never see such times again
Hard times come around - and grind you to the ground
A victim of that thirst for wealth & power
When lust for gold takes hold - and conscience has been sold
The milk of human kindness will turn sour
Story old as time - the rich folks do the crime
But never pay the price for what they do
For on this ship of fools where greed & chaos rules
The many are betrayed by just a few
Chorus:
Greed’s a vicious beast - a spectre at a feast
With teeth as sharp as winter’s icy blast
It’s red in tooth & claw - it is a dog of war
That never learns the lessons of the past
Destiny is choice - it has a hopeful voice
That rings out in the light of every dawn
Equality it’s plain should reign in each domain
The poor should not endure the crown of thorn.
