Voices - Greedy lyrics

rate me

(M. Spohn, R. Peinelt, A. Torkler)<br />

(from the album "InFormation", 1995)<br />

He turns around the key of his Jaguar<br />

And whispers a shallow good bye to his wife<br />

As the dark green lacquer's<br />

Reflecting the light of the uprising sun<br />

On the way to the vitreous office building<br />

Someone on the radio tells the latest news<br />

About the starving part of the world<br />

And the man with golden watch on his arm<br />

Lights a cigar as ten meters away<br />

A rich old man is killed<br />

With a chromium plated gun<br />

He had a black car with bullet proof glass<br />

And a white house for a retired life<br />

But all the old man leaves behind<br />

Is a red stain on the dirty grey asphalt<br />

Time passes and no one is able to use it<br />

Just a game of selling and winning<br />

Glorious and ruthless without space for loosers<br />

Society falls into deepest abstruseness<br />

'cause the children of wealth have never learned<br />

To pay their score<br />

A bright lightning lights up the horizon<br />

People running head over heels<br />

And the voices of day<br />

Turn into screams in the night
