Cap-i-tal-is-m has reduced ev’-ry-thing

to no more than simple corp’rate bling.

The world is now entirely run by dem-a-gogues

and all of them are int’rested in just one thing.

Mon-ey here, mon-ey there

Greed goes o-o-on!

La la la la Greed goes on!

Fossil fuels are cre-a-ting a Hell on Earth!

But corp‘rate int’rests really do not care!

So long as corp’rate shares increase in dai-ly worth

they‘ll keep drillin’ and scrapin‘ the planet bare!

Pro-fit here, pro-fit there

Greed goes o-o-on!

La la la la Greed goes on!

Plants and animals are dying ev‘rywhere!

The greedy rich don’t get it that we’re linked.

If they don’t wise up there will be one thing we’ll share

Just like us soon they will all become extinct!

Den-i-al here, den-i-al there

in the e-e-end

(very slow)-> La la la we’ll allbegone!
