Clayton John Pearson - Greed Lyrics

In my opinion you need to feel in control of others destiny
It's an addiction not unlike a crutch on which to lean
Power gained through your treachery
You left me fighting off potential jeopardy
Dedicating your life to your pure selfish need
How I yearned to be free
From your stigmatising hypocrisy
And all the while though controlling me
You never did come to terms with your unyielding
Greed, you take more than you'd ever need, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Greed, it's so sickening to see
Yet this is your obsessive mentality
The burden from guilt you'll never feel
You're always looking for another hopeful you can deal
Devouring musicians dreams and leaving nothing but human debris
Are you so blind that you can't see?
The broken promises you made and left with me
There'll come a day when you'll pay for your years of duplicity
How I yearned to be free
From your egocentric grandiosity
And all the while though controlling me
You couldn't even admit your addiction to
Greed, you take more than you'd ever need, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Greed, it's so sickening to see
Yet this is your obsessive mentality
How I yearned to be free
From your stigmatising hypocrisy
And all the while though controlling me
You never did come to terms with your unyielding
Greed, you take more than you'd ever need, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Greed, it's so sickening to see
Yet this is your obsessive mentality
Greed, you've got no empathy, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, heh, heh,
Greed, to your ego you'll feed, with your narcissistic banality
