Greedy Lyrics - Singles - Voices

(M. Spohn, R. Peinelt, A. Torkler) 

(from the album "InFormation", 1995) 

he turns around the key of his Jaguar 

and whispers a shallow good bye to his wife 

as the dark green lacquer's 

reflecting the light of the uprising sun 

on the way to the vitreous office building 

someone on the radio tells the latest news 

about the starving part of the world 

and the man with golden watch on his arm 

lights a cigar as ten meters away 

a rich old man is killed 

with a chromium plated gun 

he had a black car with bullet proof glass 

and a white house for a retired life 

but all the old man leaves behind 

is a red stain on the dirty grey asphalt 

time passes and no one is able to use it 

just a game of selling and winning 

glorious and ruthless without space for loosers 

society falls into deepest abstruseness 

'cause the children of wealth have never learned 

to pay their score 

a bright lightning lights up the horizon 

people running head over heels 

and the voices of day 

turn into screams in the night
