The Greed Machine Lyrics

A mirror image

A loose smile

A sneak peek

A sundial

A subtle hint

A sharp pain

A briefcase

Filled with blood

And business cards

The long game

The strep throat

The bad idea

The bank note

Do you think?

Or do you just

Follow orders?

"Oh, what a beautiful day"

The synergy

The coffee leaf

The name tag

The polo breed

Well gentlemen

Please allow me to

Introduce myself

You don't know my name?

The yellow smile

The resumé

The never ending talk of good days

The salt breeze

On white wood

The PCH

The canyon

The washed up movie star,

The girlie pop queen,

The woodstock man from the seventies,

Drivin' from his palace in the palisades,

To feed THE GREED MACHINE.

Blame a flaw

Your gapin' maw

So many words

No weight at all

A politik

A blackmail ring

A big bribe

A simple thing

You poor thing

If you don't get it,

Then it gets you

This is over your head

This is performative

You know it's not real

You know it's not true

Its words to make you kneel

The greed machine (straight from the farm)

The greed machine (they come so fresh)

The greed machine (you can almost trick yourself)

It has to feed (to think it's flesh)

It has to feed

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The tomboy

The insecurity

The face she changed

The new body

The lifestyles of

The rich and powerful

The summer house

Lookin' good on the tax forms

The secret crying

The hidden habits

The bad dates

The kissysht

The hand that covers

The flashbulbs of

Photographers

You're not what you think

A greater good

A resonance

A white light

A certain elegance

And gentlemen

Please allow me to

Introduce myself

You don't know my name?

The hand shakes

The contracts

The false attempts to try to counteract

The glaciers

The solar flares

And in time

I'll end up like

The washed up movie star,

The girlie pop queen,

The woodstock man from the seventies,

Drivin' from his palace in the palisades,

To feed THE GREED MACHINE.

The nail gun (i'm out of my mind)

The plastic

A farmhouse

The lawyer

It can't be stopped (i'm out of my mind)

Someone dies alone tonight

To feed THE GREED MACHINE.

Blame a flaw

Your gapin' maw

So many words

No weight at all

A politik

A blackmail ring

A big bribe

A simple thing

You poor thing

If you don't get it,

Then it gets you

This is over your head

This is performative (the greed machine)

You know it's not real (it has to feed)

You know it's not true (it has to feed)

Its words to make you kneel (the greed machine)

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine (straight from the farm)

The greed machine (they come so fresh)

The greed machine (you can almost trick yourself)

It has to feed (to think it's flesh)

It has to feed

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine

The greed machine
