Selfish benefits - were things I served I knew I'd get - what I deserve I rustled up - honour and fame People pushed me to be ashamed I neglected - my friends and dear ones Irreparable losses - were my bonds Distending greed - had taken place Unbearable sorrow I was to face I was aware of all that I thought I was too busy to be sad I was aware of all that I thought I was too busy to be sad Now there's no time For repentance No-one needs me For romance No children to be Taken care of I'm a timid old man Withdrawn indoors I have everything Money can buy Lack the most inevitable Can't deny I can't take this Endless solitude My overcharged life Is too abused Chorus: Too greedy To hold on a minute Too greedy To hold on a minute I'd sell my soul To get more time Unscrupulous past is My only crime I'm a humble meek Whatever you desire Just gimme courage to pass Away with pride
