Flotsam and Jetsam - Greed lyrics

Greed can't wash your filthy hands Now you know Just where you really stand Competition. Man against man Vicious players, Game of life has no plan. Candiate for office, You vote for me, I'm young, smart, smooth-talkin', no one can bullsh** me Promises promises Just another vote. High paid thief in office, sharpened lies cut your throat What do you really want What will you pay To stab another back, To get your way And grease the painted palms, all gagged and bound You try to rip me off I'll bring you down k** Or be k**ed, that's what we're all taught Money, d**, religion, they've all got their plots To make it to the big time, then pay off the cops It's greed that motivates them and only d**h will make them stop Guilt tool of the trade, you crushed someone's mind To get your own way, you were my friend You've cut the bloodline that never ends
