MR. GREED As recorded by John Fogerty (From the 1985 Album CENTERFIELD) [Intro] [Verse 1] Mr. Greed why you got to own everything that you see? Mr. Greed why you put a chain on everybody livin’ free? You’re hungerin’ for his house you’re hungerin’ for his wife And your appetite will never be denied You’re a devil of consumption; I hope you choke Mr. Greed [Chorus] How do you get away with robbin’? Did your mother teach you how? I hear you got away with murder did you do your mama proud? [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Mr. Greed why you got to take more than you can ever use? Bring ’em to their knees; isn’t it enough just to win while they lose? You bring no honor to the game you feast upon the blood and pain But the bones you hoard can only bring you shame There’s corruption in your path be that your epitaph Mr. Greed [Chorus] How do you get away with robbin’? Did your mother teach you how? I hear you got away with murder did you do your mama proud? [Outro-Guitar Solo]
