M. Lockwood Porter - Anything for Greed Lyrics

Anything for Greed
You tell us that we're wasteful - we spend money we don't have
And then expect someone to save us when we're in the hole so bad
That we can't cover all the debts that we took on when we were young
Well, what else would you expect when you don't mind buying the guns

To fight a war we don't need? To watch your children bleed?
You'll do anything for greed. You'll do anything for greed

You call us wasteful but you put a ransom on our lives
With a bootstrap fairytale that your hunger crucified
Now we'll keep working til we die and never get a decent wage
You've got some nerve to say my generation ought to act its age

Sold us your dope and your speed. You'll watch your children bleed
You'll do anything for greed. You'll do anything for greed

You're not a model, not a mentor, you're not worthy of respect
You're just a virus that keeps looking for a new host to infect

Sold us your dope and your speed. You'll watch your children bleed
You'll do anything for greed. You'll do anything for greed
You'll do anything for greed. You'll do anything for greed
You'll do anything for greed. You'll do anything for greed
