Absent Minded
Greedy people going to hell
cirrhosis of the heart
lung cancer
leave me here
dying on the hospital bed
everything I've done
everything I've said
all the fun and games
this gullible fool
fell for your advertising
and the radio
strings me along.
Are you happy now?
i was a child killed
in a drunk driving accident?
Are you happy now
i was 13 when i smoked my first cigarette?
Are you happy now
I drink to ease the pain?
Are you happy now?
nothing will ever be the same!
Yesterday was soo long ago
22 years ago i was four
now I'm watching starving children
being treated for diseases
on a dirty floor
oil companies make trillions
but they don't give a damn
money making man made miracles
with no man made plan.
Greed oh greed
Lord of the flies
Greed oh greed
my oh my oh my
such a disturbed soul
such a pitiful hole
such a wounded piece of art
such a twisted gaping heart
such a filthy criminal
and you're asking god
where do i go?
You live in mansion
and you take more than you need
you see the disasters on every network
on your new fancy plasma flat screen
you wear a gold necklace
and a ten thousand dollar watch
you can afford my diamonds and jewelery
just to escape your greedy
unsettled
disgusting
heartthrob
mindless
screwed up
pathetic
brainwashed
self absorbed
cold
black heart.
Greed greed greed
sacrifice another dollar on the cross
greed greed greed
what do you want?
what does it cost?
greed greed greed
buy me another man made miracle.
shove your diamonds
and your gold teeth
into the righteousness
of your pitiful self defeated souls.
And then you think
this is all there is
and you've won with no repentance.
and you think
you are gods gift to the land
making money
giving none
to give a hand
and you think you are a hero
for all the jobs you employ
but you never thought someone would say to you
you're going to hell
for all the things you never did
with the miracles of man
that you destroyed.
Oil is a man made miracle
and the power of money it creates
could have been beautiful
you could have healed the sick
you could have fed the poor
but hey you say
isn't that what our tax dollars are for?
on your knees again
you want to see the way
Ive shown you to cleanse your soul
read between such obvious lines
and cave into the realization
of what you ve been shown.
Electricity is a man made miracle
and the profits it provides lead many to greed
so you now have a swimming pool three cars two houses
and instead of giving to the church
you're smoking weed,
instead of giving to the poor
your buying more expensive clothes,
wanna be a superstar celebrity,
and point at the poor,
who cannot afford such fine robes.
So hire your prostitutes,
and see what Jezebel has to say.
Hire your scapegoats to find loops
in the taxes
because you still have to pay!
your soul will be aching
and you spirit will never soar
you will beg for mercy in your next life
as you starve to death and wonder
what you did in your last life
or what it would be like
to be able to afford.
OH GREED
GREED
such a multifaceted belief
oh greed such an intricate disease
oh greeeed humble me
so i can humble the population
who thinks its poor
inflation inflation inflation
such high bills for everything that i wanna afford.
Oh greed wont you free the starving
oh greed wont you cut these chains
oh greed wont you bathe me in your rapture
oh greed cant you feel the pain.
Inside the ward of the mental institute i sit
because the war has taken over me
fought and killed
and watched them die
and now no one respects me
what has been done is done
and there just is what is
we could have been something
a piece of history a silent protest
speaking out to the generations
within the history books,
can't believe i fell for holly wood
the man made miracle that it is
we worship the holy actors and then are fooled
by what wonderful people
there truly is.
no one stops to buy the right thing,
but a fourty thousand dollar dress
they never get a chance to wear.
why don't they just shop at the salvation army?
and spend their money on more important things?
like making life more interesting and fair!
Oh greed
the red carpet is a mistake
Oh greed
the stars in the pavement need to be replaced
Oh greed I'll make a difference but never be remembered
Oh greed Oh greed oh greed I have nothing to give.
Everyone wants the hottest car
everyone wants the biggest house
everyone wants the nicest clothes
everyone wants
the most expensive dreams
everyone wants the biggest t.v
everyone want the prettiest face
everyone wants something inside they don't have
I can give it to you
but you'll be picking the scabs
give to charity
salvation knocking at your door
call into the phone lines
and believe your making a difference
support things that are realistic and put an end to all these wars
oh greed, end this oppression
oh greed
war is not the answer to the end of our depression
oh greed
you are a worthless king
oh greed
you are insecure
you are see through
you are a scab
you are a sheep in wolves clothing
you are a horror of too many lands
oh greed oh greed oh greed
how many generations suck you back?
I guess now I'm a saint in disguise as a manic welfare bum
i guess now I'm insane for everything Ive now become
i guess now you know greed is a sin
and everything you bought
everything you taught every Christmas you celebrated
in excess was disgusting
everything you did has hurt me and you will go on suffering
I don't want the perfect world
but how many times do you want to be born to starve to death?
how many lives do you want to live where you are a drug addict?
and are informed you need to practice safe sex?
How many times do you want to walk down this same road
that alway s end up in world wars?
If the shoe was on the foot which it will be next
think....
what would you do if you were in the middle of the anarchy
or starving or needed something
you couldn't afford?
Oh greed
oh greed
oh greed your first painful lesson
Oh greed Oh greed
The hell you owe me is something you're going to go through
and it's right around the corner.
Oh greed oh greed
and you teach your children to be
just like you
My oh my where did we go wrong
cant do this on our own
unless we have a spiritual leader or a prophet
oh my oh my?
where did we go wrong?
cant do this alone in the cold
unless we have a thought that teaches us the right from wrong
we are soo pure
we are soo innocent
we are soo bloody perfect
but thats only in our heads
we are born to live once
and believe in eternity
we are all released from our sins
but honestly I'm joking
Oh greed oh greed
i cant wait for my turn
oh greed oh greed
let me drink you down
and watch them all burn
oh greed oh greed
make me king of the world
oh greed oh greed
I've come back and the greedy will be punished
and my wrath of the ages I'm amazed by
shall be unfurled!
lung cancer
leave me here
dying on the hospital bed
everything I've done
everything I've said
all the fun and games
this gullible fool
