It's a mix of faces
Some happy, some sad
It's all the voices
Whispering what they wish they had

They want the world
Always more than they need
They say it's a habit
But it's nothing but greed

It knows no bounds
It spreads its roots
It suffocates society
We have no defense, our mind's in cahoots

Some pain for money
That's what they all say
But they never realize
They're blowing everyone away

It has existed forever
And it will always be here
Be a good person
And the paths for others will be clear

Settle for what you have
And take only what you need
It'll help in the end
The dispelling of greed
