Greed Lyrics

My friends are saying I sold out to Bill Gates

Well I guess his bank transfer must have got delayed

Because I still paid my bills late

And no matter how much love I throw at it the Internet still hates

So fuck the Internet I'm going home to bake cakes

Or masturbate

I've not decided yet I'm on the fence still

Trying to make good use of all this time now that my tour's been cancelled

Pinned all my hopes on 2021 but when all's said and done

They'll turn around and tell me music's not essential

But don't get me wrong

I do appreciate the dangers

Of travelling around the country getting paid to spit on strangers

I just miss the old days when going viral meant you got plays

And the only thing contagious was the bass that made us famous

It's outrageous

When you look at New Zealand or Japan

And then hear Boris banging on about his world beating plan

The only field we're winning in

Is Covid deaths per million

And voting in a furry turd

Masquerading as a man

How many times

Do we listen to them

Spouting these bare faced lies

No no no no

Before we rise

And decide that enough is enough no more

No no no no

They promise you that greed is the answer

But I'm telling you that greed is the cancer

You need to operate as soon as you can sir

Because the patient is dying

Prime minister speaking

Good afternoon sir I'm calling from the department of health

You've recently tested positive for a misallocation of wealth

It's seems you've handed the money to a friend of friend

And now we're trying to track and trace where the all those billions went

If you could just take a moment to answer a few questions for me

I've tried speaking to my MP but she just seems to ignore me

What I'm trying to figure out is whether you simply messed up

Or whether you are in fact just hopelessly corrupt

Na na na

Now hold on there a minute

Ah ah ah

I think that's not exactly fair is it?

I mean I think that greed

Is our best plan

And that's why I've been as greedy as I possibly can

Corrupt? Me? Well that's a point of view

I mean I was merely returning some favours to my chums from school

It's a simple case of you scratch my back

And ah ah ah I'll give you a government contract

How many times

Do we listen to them

Spouting these bare faced lies

No no no no

Before we rise

And decide that enough is enough no more

No no no no

They promise you that greed is the answer

But I'm telling you that greed is the cancer

You need to operate as soon as you can sir

Because the patient is dying

Now just in case you're still confused

I'd like to clarify my views a bit

I'll probably get abuse for it

But maybe you'll make use of it

I don't know

Covid's not a hoax though

Videos on YouTube are best viewed for pranks and jokes so

don't go too deep down that rabbit hole until you've vetted it

I've been there done that bought the t-shirt then regretted it

A voice that's soothing overlays dramatic music but don't be fooled

That shit will rot your brain like ketamine

And it's unsettling I know

So no I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't question everything

In fact the opposite

I'm simply wishing we could extend that scepticism

To some of the shit we read on Facebook cos let's face it there's a lot of it

We sift through lies searching for allies choose sides

and watch society divide and polarise itself again

But your enemy's enemy's

Not necessarily going to be giving you anything

Better than what you've been getting already

From some of these so called friends

So

How many times

Do we listen to them

Spouting these bare faced lies

No no no no

Before we rise

And decide that enough is enough no more

No no no no

They promise you that greed is the answer

But I'm telling you that greed is the cancer

You need to operate as soon as you can sir

Cos the patient is dying
