I don't quite remember how it stared
But I sure know how it ends
My story teaches about them leeches I used to call my friends
♪
My hand it reaches for my pocket
The money's gone, I'll get my revenge
I'll teach 'em all, them criminals I used to call my friends

I'm surrounded by crooks
Swindlers and thieves

It's not all that complicated
It's just American Greed
Wolves in sheep's clothing
Nothing but blatant lies
Spend all of their days, spend all of their days
Pulling wool over your eyes
Who can you trush in days like these?
Them criminals they do what they please
With crooked smiles and even crooked teeth
They make ir hard to turn the other cheek
Yea I'm surrounded by crooks
Swindlers and thieves

It's not all that complicated
It's just American Greed
♪
Wolves in sheep's clothing
Nothing but filthy lies
Summer, spring or fall no they don't fool me at all
I can see through their disguise
Oh but them dirty scoundrels, they hide in shadows
Maybe one day, some may, hang from the gallows
But they keep coming back, they won't go away
It's good versus evil, so together we'll pray
That God shall protect us from these vultures and crows
Strength is in numbers, and our love it can grow
Shall we skin all these wolves 'fore they blow our house down
Though God shall protect us, shall we fight?
Shoot them down?
Cause they're worse, they're worse that Mr.Brown
