Knock knock Who's there? It’s Greed What do you want from me? Money, cars, fame, women… I want you to want more The world is open to you What are you waiting for? Enough is enough What use do I have for a lot of fluff? You should get a mention For that, you should strive Those right by the beach Why settle when you could thrive? I like my cozy place Between me and a beach there can be space Your friends are striving for greatness Don’t you feel left behind? You think you have enough But it’s all in your mind… Life isn’t a race Their paths I don’t need to trace Why stay in a single place? Isn’t there much to see in this space rock? Mountains, rivers, beaches and valleys The wide world will leave you in shock I’ll see the world when the time is right I don’t need to rush to see an amazing sight Your mom is working still Isn’t that sad to see? Isn’t it time you repay her? Why not let her rest in glee? I lighten her load as much as I can There is nothing to be done I try my best She doesn’t want a hollow son Why do you not fall to temptation? What keeps you so strong in your station? I’m guided by the Lord Begone Greed Return to Hell Return my peace, leave with speed
