Greed

How much do you really want?
If you had it would it really solve your problems?
Do you realise the pain it causes
Struggling for something you may never get
How much would you sacrifice if I told you I could change your life?
You don’t have to take on my advice
Don’t do something that you might regret
How much do you really need?
Is it justified or is it greed?
If you satisfy your vanity
If you get to where you think you wanna go
How much is it gonna take?
Will you see it through or will you break?
Cos in the end what will you have to show?

Life can be lonely
When all you have are your possessions
Greed becomes your main obsession
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain’t what you need
You’ve become a victim of your greed

How much do you really feel?
Can you recognise when something’s real?
Do you live your life by fake ideals?
Do you think that one day you will get the chance?
What happens if you don’t achieve
Will it be enough if you believe
You can just rely on destiny
Don’t you know your fate is in your hands
How much is enough for you?
When you reach the top what will you do?
Will you look around for something new?
Without the destination will you carry on?
Will you try day after day
Pretend you don’t hear what they say?
What would you do if all your pride was gone?

Life can be lonely
When all you have are your possessions
Greed becomes your main obsession
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain’t what you need
You’ve become a victim of your greed

Cos material possessions ain’t the world
(Ain’t the world)
Nobody ever bought you happiness with diamonds or pearls
(Diamonds or pearls)
You’ve gotta look at this for what they really are
(What they really are)
Or you’ll find yourself wanting more
Going way too far

Life can be lonely
When all you have are your possessions
Greed becomes your main obsession
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain’t what you need
You’ve become a victim of your greed

Life can be lonely
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain’t what you need
You’ve become a victim of your greed

Life can be lonely
When all you have are your possessions
Greed becomes your main obsession
Just take it slowly
If what you want ain’t what you need
You’ve become a victim of your greed

Life can be lonely
Just take it slowly…
