Greed - Patrick Stump

Consumption is consuming me

The laissez hasn’t been fair to me

A party for the sea is like a funeral for the beach

And there’s a crooked line

I don’t want to take the time to straighten

'Cause, when you do

You realize it’s the whole damn world that’s bent

Here’s the mission: to go omniscient

To run with scissors and skip the incision

The truth: It’s got vision but it’s got no heart

Keep shrugging on, Atlas, while the market goes dark

Everything goes in waves

Grasshoppers gonna party while the ants gonna save

Some teams only want to play

If they get to rig the game, shame

Greed: one of the seven deadly sins

Many gonna enter, few gonna win

Always try to notify the next of kin

'Cause many gonna enter, few gonna win

Greed: one of the seven deadly sins

Many gonna enter, few gonna win

Always try to notify the next of kin

'Cause many gonna enter, few gonna win

Well, good news is everybody gets to have an outlet

But bad news is everybody gets to have an outlet

Listen, I’ve been poor and I’ve been rich

The first one stung but the second one itched

The cash is just the rash

Without the pleasure of the scratch

You know, until you’ve had yourself a hurricane

You’re gonna fret, you’re gonna fret, you’re gonna fret every raindrop

Greed: one of the seven deadly sins

Many gonna enter, few gonna win

Always try to notify the next of kin

'Cause many gonna enter, few gonna win

Greed: one of the seven deadly sins

Many gonna enter, few gonna win

Always try to notify the next of kin

'Cause many gonna enter, few gonna win

(Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed, greed)

All my, all my Gordon Gekkos and my Bernie Madoffs

I want to see you

(Pop your white collars up! Pop your white collars up!)

Oh, I’m screwed

Offshore accounts, tax havens, swimming pools, movie stars

(Pop your white collars up! Pop your white collars up!)

Everybody!

I want to see you

(Pop your white collars up! Pop your white collars up!)

Very rarely has good art been born in the board room

(Pop your white collars up! Pop your white collars up!)

You remember that, sing it

Greed: one of the seven deadly sins

Many gonna enter, few gonna win

Always try to notify the next of kin

'Cause many gonna enter, few gonna win

Greed: one of the seven deadly sins

Many gonna enter, few gonna win

Always try to notify the next of kin

'Cause many gonna enter, few gonna win
