Greed

[Verse 1] Don't you wanna be a Superstar? Don't you wanna own some nice cars? Give away your morality, A gateway for idolitries. Give away most of your friends, Keep some close, to make profit. Then when's all set and done, Throw those out and then move on. [Pre-Chorus] Get a little richer, get a little bigger, Get another figure, make 'em reconsider, Everybody's watching, everybody's talking, Why would you be stopping when you're finally popping? Take another dollar, take another offer, Who cares if your conscience gets a little bit softer? Everybody wants it, everybody needs it, If you see a chance, then you better believe it! More money, more power, more people below, More eyes on me everywhere that I go, No guilt, no shame, no reason to stop, You wanted the world, now give it all you've got! MORE! MORE! MORE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! [Chorus] Greed is the freedom that you'll ever need, Sell other's souls and invest in your dreams. Wear diamonds and gold while they beg at your feet, There's a fortune to make, so don't settle for cheap. Take everything, leave them wanting for more, You weren't born to be humble, you're destined for more. Let them call you heartless, let them call you obscene, If the world's yours to take, why not take everything? [Post-Chorus: Instrumental Saxophone Hook] [Verse 2] Put your name in lights above the city, Make them love you, make them feel sorry. Shake a hand, then cut the deal, It doesn't matter if the love ain't real. Buy the silence, buy the truth, Buy the image of your youth. If they hate you, let them stare, They can't touch you from down there. [Pre-Chorus] Get a little richer, get a little bigger, Get another figure, make 'em reconsider, Everybody's watching, everybody's talking, Why would you be stopping when you're finally popping? Take another dollar, take another offer, Who cares if your conscience gets a little bit softer? Everybody wants it, everybody needs it, If you see a chance, then you better believe it! More money, more power, more people below, More eyes on me everywhere that I go, No guilt, no shame, no reason to stop, You wanted the world, now give it all you've got! MORE! MORE! MORE! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! [Chorus] Greed is the freedom that you'll ever need, Sell other's souls and invest in your dreams. Wear diamonds and gold while they beg at your feet, There's a fortune to make, so don't settle for cheap. Take everything, leave them wanting for more, You weren't born to be humble, you're destined for more. Let them call you heartless, let them call you obscene, If the world's yours to take, why not take everything? [Post-Chorus: Instrumental Saxophone Hook] [Bridge: Stripped-Back Vocals] How much is enough? (Just a little more.) How high is the top? (There's another floor.) How many have fallen? (That's not my concern.) How much did it cost you? (You'll never learn.) You traded your friends for a seat at the table, You traded your truth for a name on the label. You wanted the crown, now it's crushing your head, But the gold looks so pretty, so what if you're dead? [Breakdown: Whispered, Building] More. More. MORE! [Final Chorus] Greed is the freedom that you'll ever need, Sell other's souls and invest in your dreams. Wear diamonds and gold while they beg at your feet, There's a fortune to make, so don't settle for cheap. Take everything, leave them wanting for more, You weren't born to be humble, you're destined for more. Let them call you heartless, let them call you obscene, If the world's yours to take, why not take everything? [Post-Chorus: Instrumental Saxophone Hook] [Outro: Saxophone Fades] You got what you wanted. ...Didn't you?
