Over the hill it shines
A light to remain confined
Blinding the careless eyes
The strong and the meek, the wise
You're so hard to recognise
When I've known you well
Known you all my life
It's my own faults
That lead me to strife
It's so hard to see
When it's in disguise
Greed
Such a strong disease
I want it all
But you're so hard to please
Please show me what I could lose
I'm lighting the fuse
Giving all we have to give
Living all our lives to live
Show me how (show me how)
We could discern
All the while
Just to watch it burn (just to watch it burn)
The beautiful city lights
They're weakened by frights and sounds
We're running on dangerous grounds
The plain and the bold, the sly
Here I am
But just one voice
Calling in to space
Can you hear the noise?
All it takes
Is just one breath
To reverse the pain
And avenge the dead
Greed
Such a strong disease
I want it all
But you're so hard to please
Show me what I could lose
I'm lighting the fuse
Giving all we have to give
Living all our lives to live
Show me how (show me how)
We could discern
All the while
Just to watch it burn (just to watch it burn)
This isn't how it's meant to be
When all I feel is jealousy
All this time
I've kept the score
And all the while, I still want more and more
We want to be like you (we want to be like you)
We want to be like you (we want to be like you)
We want to be like you (we want to be like you)
We want to be like you (we want to be like you)
We want to be like you (we want to be like you)
We want to be like you
