John Fogerty - Mr. Greed lyrics
[John Fogerty - Mr. Greed lyrics]
Why you got to own everything that you see?
Mr greed
Why you put a chain on everybody livin' free?
You're hungerin' for his house
You're hungerin' for his wife
And your appetite will never be denied
You're a devil of consumption
I hope you choke, mr greed
How do you get away with robbin'?
Did your mother teach you how?
I hear you got away with murder
Did you do your mama proud?
Mr greed, why you got to take more
Than you can ever use?
Bring 'em to their knees isn't it enough
Just to win while they lose?
You bring no honor to the game
You feast upon the blood and pain
But the bones you hoard can
Only bring you shame
There's corruption in your path
Be that your epitaph, mr greed
How do you get away with robbin'?
Did your mother teach you how?
I hear you got away with murder
Did you do your mama proud?
