Greed Machine

Track 10 from "The Machine"

[Verse 1]

Plastic dreams and golden chains

Credit cards and dollar signs

Feeding off the endless gains

Walking down these money lines

[Chorus]

It's a greed machine,

spinning round and round

Chase the paper dreams

until you hit the ground

Buy your happiness,

sell your very soul

Greed machine keeps turning,

swallowing us whole

[Verse 2]

Corporate towers scrape the sky

While the homeless sleep below

Tell me why we justify

All this wealth we'll never know

[Chorus]

It's a greed machine,

spinning round and round

Chase the paper dreams

until you hit the ground

Buy your happiness,

sell your very soul

Greed machine keeps turning,

swallowing us whole

[Bridge]

Numbers on a screen

Living in between

What we need and what we want

The system's what we've got

[Final Chorus]

Greed machine, it never stops

Greed machine, until it drops

All of us into the void

Everything we've destroyed

Themes

Endless consumption
