Tash Sultana - Greed Lyrics

It's not about the money, money, put the money in the bank
Money breeds greed and greed is really bad
Money, money, oh, I never really had
And I got by just fine not working for the man
Thinkin' you got a dollar but you only got a dime
Hustle up your lovin' to see the sunshine
The simple things and the simple things

And people only givin' a shit when you hide yourself
Try mold to perfection when you don't feel like feeding the mouth
Bite the hand that feeds your wealth
And that ain't good for my mental health, oh no

They only give a shit when you make it big
Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone
Turn their back when you make a hit
But if you love me then you'll hold it down
They only give a shit when you make it big
Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone
Turn their back when you make a hit
But if you love me then you'll hold it down
You gotta hold it down

Make a million dollars but it ain't that much
When it passes through the hands and they take their cuts
Put your face on the poster , got the people inside
When the debt rolls around, they go run and hide
East side to the seaside
South side to the middle and of course I died
Head north to the border to get the time over

And when the sun comes down
I surrender to the night (I surrender to the night)
I will kiss away my pride (I will kiss away my pride)
And I know it will find me one day
All in good time

They only give a shit when you make it big
Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone
Turn their back when you make a hit
But if you love me then you'll hold it down
They only give a shit when you make it big
Frame my memory when I'm dead and gone
Turn their back when you make a hit
But if you love me then you'll hold it down
You gotta hold it down
