World of Greed, World of Need
World of greed, keep on turning.
Don't worry about my tears.
Pay no mind to our tragic yearning
Or our cries that no one ever hears.
World of greed, keep your material wealth.
It can't buy me a better life.
Put your consolation back on the shelf.
We were born to fight.
World of greed, turn your back
Just like you always do.
Another day will fade to black,
And I'll still make it through.
World of greed, keep on turning.
Your promises lie in my clenched fists.
My dreams are all broken, and my future is burning,
And hope does not exist.
