American Greed Lyrics


You've got it all, What more could you take?
Bleeding us dry of every penny we make.
We work our fingers to the bone, all for your sake
We can't feed our families, just give us a break!

Still you say its not enough!
Nothing we do could satisfy your blood lust
Profit is all that you seek in your life
When you look at us you see dollar signs
Corruption, destruction, and pitiless greed!
What you want is not what you need!
To slaughter you take us, we are your sheep
A feast for the kings
Scraps for the weak!

It doesn't matter if you're six feet underground
There's only one thing that makes the world go round
From the peasants living in the dirt
To the kings at the top of the world
We all chase the dream
It is American!
We all chase the dream
It is American!

Sit on your throne while we slip through the cracks
We'll just consume and obey your demands
We built your homes, we sleep in the cold
While You walk on these streets that are paved in gold
You poison the water, our sons, and our daughters! Our Fridays are black and our future is darker
Your people are restless, but you couldn't care less.
All we are to you is a fucking paycheck!

The American dream has become a nightmare

It doesn't matter if you're six feet underground
There's only one thing that makes the world go round
From the peasants living in the dirt
To the kings at the top of the world
We all chase the dream
It is American
We all chase the dream
And It's American greed!
