The Tiger Lillies - Avarice lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Avarice lyrics]
The money man makes all the money
That’s why the money man lives
He sells the souls of his freakshow
For the money man money is bliss
He’s sold his father and mother his
Daughter and wife do tricks
Each coin and each note that he
Makes he greedily gobbles and licks
Avarice, avarice! Money, money is bliss!
He sold all of his children he
Sold his friends as well
Well, one day pretty soon the
Money man’s going to Hell
The money man’s so greedy he’s got
A dollar down his jacket’s insides
For the sake of making more money he murders
Cheats and lies
Avarice, avarice! Money, money is bliss!
Everywhere he springs misery
Each of the freaks he makes cry
He sold his soul to the Devil
He’s the only one who’d buy
