Wants will soon become a need Under the gathering shadow of greed Mouths that we will never feed Starving to d**h in the shadow of greed Oh, so many ways to bleed Living your life in the shadow of greed Can you mask these evil deeds Deep in the dark of the shadow of greed A motivation force Rob from the poor To feed an addiction More, more, more, more Oh no, no it'll be enough No end in sight and none in the works Divide and conquer, devour and squander Darkness follows where we wonder No matter how much you achieve You're still a cog in the machine Consumerism gives them the power To enslave the world to the final hour But what choice do we really have Live on the street, eat from the trash? Damned if we do, damned if we don't There is no escape, there is no hope Wants will soon become a need Under the gathering shadow of greed Mouths that we will never feed Starving to d**h in the shadow of greed Oh, so many ways to bleed Living your life in the shadow of greed Can you mask these evil deeds Deep in the dark of the shadow of greed It's all around us every day and night. From the day we were born 'till the day we die Every smiling face is a disguise. It would all be smooth if we believe If we work our hands until they bleed That we'll get ours when they get theirs. Everyone will have an equal share.
