Assemblage 23 - Greed lyrics

A grip on you like an addiction A selfish need for something more Who it hurts is inconsequential When you get what you're looking for Avarice, the muse that guides you You are the sum of what you gain But it won't buy your soul redemption The kind of wealth you can't obtain The pigs are at the trough Their hunger won't subside Awash in their own filth Awash in their own lies No sense of empathy Corrupt in word and deed I hate you for what you represent I hate you for your greed Think of yourself before all others To hell with grace and charity They just impede your blind ambition They just impede your gluttony The pigs are at the trough Their hunger won't subside Awash in their own filth Awash in their own lies No sense of empathy Corrupt in word and deed I hate you for what you represent I hate you for your greed Step on the necks of those beneath you And claw your way up to the top But don't look to me to find compa**ion When you inevitably drop The pigs are at the trough Their hunger won't subside Awash in their own filth Awash in their own lies No sense of empathy Corrupt in word and deed I hate you for what you represent I hate you for your greed
