When greedy Greeder GREED
Is a person’s unifying creed
Then a person’s life’s defined
By its aging shrinking skin
Nothing won is really win
You rape instead of mutual love
You’re touching with cold metal glove
And wormy parasitic mind
When greedy Greeder GREED
Is a nation’s unifying creed
Then killing of another’s fine
The country falls to ash and mud
It splashes with a thick’ning thud
Fear and hate destroy what’s great
Stupidity becomes its fate
And blood’s a favored flavored wine
When greedy, Greeder, GREED
Is the world’s unifying creed
When everyone’s so cowed by cash
That love and life itself are seen
As merely meeker forms of screen
And forests die there is no why
The cancer spreads and all must die
The ugliness and stench obscene
There’s nothing left but useless gold
An unheard wind and endless cold
Congratulate your ego’s need
You bowed your head and prayed to GREED
