Greed The Evil Seed

When left to your devices

Allowed to plant your seeds

The only fruits you harvest

Are ones that serve your needs

Now there’s new crusade

And what fuels this great unrest

Is Greed

Greed!

I really don’t know how

You can’t see that now there’s no

Need… for greed…

Ditch the fancy car

Hitch your wagon to my star and

You’ll be freed

We tried to live in harmony

To co-exist in peace

Religion and economy

Strange bedfellows are these

Ambitions, plans and purposes

Disguised as basic need

They are not virtues after all

They are the evil seed…of

Greed!

I really don’t know how

You can’t see that now there’s no

Need… for greed…

Ditch the fancy car

Hitch your wagon to my star and

You’ll be freed

According to one’s power

According to his need

Everyone would prosper but for greed

The power and the riches

All bought with genocide

Can’t buy a place to hide from your

Greed! Greed!

I really don’t know how

You can’t see that now there’s no

Need… for greed…

Ditch those fancy cars

Hitch your wagons to my star

And you’ll be freed

The evil seed was planted

So many years ago

It’s not too late to save ourselves

We will reap what we sow

The ones who say there is no hope

Who plan this great demise

Might see a different picture

If we learn to compromise

I stand now at the crossroads

A world of lives at stake

So many souls depend on

This choice that I must make

Should I be a good soldier

And do this deadly deed

Or can I try to alter

The nature of the seed

Greed!

Greed!
