Old Mister Greed

All I ever wanted was a slice of the pie.
A piece of the cake.
A bite of the tart.
All I ever wanted was my fair share.
That's all I wanted
at the start.

But then that
(Old mister greed) he got me
(That mister greed) he got me
(Don't trust that mister greed) he got me
begging for more.

Oh yeah that
(Old mister greed) he got me
that mister greed, and so that's
why I was robbing the store.

It's tough to make a living when you're looking like me,
and stupid like me.
Unlucky like me.
I only wanted money for a hot meal.
That's all I wanted
at the start.

But then that
(Old mister greed) he got me
(That mister greed) he got me
(Don't trust that mister greed) he got me
begging for more.

Oh yeah that
(Old mister greed) he got me
that mister greed, and so that's
why I was robbing the store.
