Reckless Greed
Tragedy and Reckless Greed: Unveiling the Dark Side of Halo-wearing Pride
Lyrics
Every lie growing longer
Every falsehood is becoming more extensive
And my teeth too
My teeth are also affected, possibly by the consequences of deceit
And who have I got left to use
I've used up everyone available to me
Dressed in pride as I put on my halo
Dressed in pride, pretending to be virtuous with a symbolic halo
That I washed in bleach
Symbolic purification of my halo with bleach
Make believe every word that I preach is the truth
Pretending that every word I preach as truth is make-believe
And all this tragedy
Reference to various unfortunate events
And all this reckless greed
Reference to uncontrolled and excessive desire for wealth
Is only a salary
Wealth accumulation is the only reward for such behavior
Blinded by the light of revelations
Blinded by newfound understanding or awareness
Take this remedy
Accept this solution
And bury it with the key
Bury the solution along with the means to access it
When all the ground beneath your feet has turned to dust
When everything around you is falling apart
And all the seas have given way to rust
When everything valuable is decaying
Point your finger at the man giving a dollar to the devil
Blame the person supporting evil for a small gain
And all this tragedy
Reiteration of various unfortunate events
And all this reckless greed
Reiteration of uncontrolled and excessive desire for wealth
Is only a Sunday for me
Wealth accumulation is just a routine on Sundays
Take away all the reasons for living
Remove all motivations for living
Replacing them all with a price for admission
Replace them with a cost for entry
And nothing's impossible once you see the man on the moon
Nothing is impossible after witnessing a significant event
Forget all the airplay, forget all the evidence
Disregard popularity and proof
All this machinery makes you irreverent
The prevalence of machinery makes you disrespectful
Forget what it means to be taken from and given to
Forget the meaning of being both taken from and given to
Forget it all now
Repeatedly emphasize the need to forget everything
Forget it all now
-Forget it all now
-Forget it all now
-Forget it all now
-Forget it all now
-Forget it all now
Final insistence on forgetting everything
