Lyrics
Newspaper trees growing Coke bottle leaves,
Pick me down a bottle cause I'm feeling kind of thirsty.
Climb to the top so that I can reach the sun...
I'm done.
Let me down easy so that I can run and hide,
Everybody's buying it, soon it will be time again.
Conflicting addictions running through my veins,
Then you buy a little
Then you buy a little bit more
Then you cry a little
Then you cry a little bit more.
A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet as you...
Greed. Greed.
Tattered squeegee corners clean windows for a dime.
Save a bit of money, think you're helping out the other side,
Drive through the light when the light turns green.
Unseen,
Flower bed exhaust pipe sleeping in the ditch,
Televisions on, something here to make me laugh again,
Conflicting addictions running through my veins,
Then you buy a little
Then you buy a little bit more
Then you cry a little
Then you cry a little bit more.
A rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet as you...
Greed. Greed.
