Lyrics
In the land of the greed
In a society driven by excessive desire for wealth
And the home of the slaves
Where the inhabitants are metaphorically enslaved
Believers bleed
Devotees suffer and endure
On the way to their graves
On their journey towards death
Toasting his wins
Celebrating his victories
Himself has to thank
He alone is responsible for his success
The cynic grins
A skeptic smiles cunningly
On his way to the bank
Heading towards financial success with indifference
Better, cheaper, faster
Striving for improvement in efficiency, cost, and speed
The slave now becomes the master
The oppressed now rises to a position of control
In the land of the greed
Reiteration of a society consumed by avarice
And the home of the slaves
Where individuals are figuratively enslaved
For mercy you plead
Pleading for compassion and forgiveness
While your lord misbehaves
While those in power behave immorally
The ultimate sin
Committing the gravest wrongdoing
Is stealing small
Commits an act of theft on a small scale
The leader will win
The leader prevails by taking everything
By taking it all
Emphasizing the winner-takes-all mentality
Better, cheaper, faster
Striving for improvement in efficiency, cost, and speed (repeated)
The slave now becomes the master
The oppressed now rises to a position of control (repeated)
