mr. greed

fogerty, john

mr. greed

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.
