Lyrics for Play The Greed by Dar Williams:
| | | Artist: | Dar Williams |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Play The Greed | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 111 | | | | Lyrics: | I finally learned that the market's righteous holler
Comes from a pale face on a paper
dollar
And I betcha got few bucks in your hemp wallet
So throw a tiny wrench in the fiber
optic wires
Morals are cheap and you can be the buyers
We can let 'em poison and perish
foreign lands
Or we can play the greed right into our hands
Oh, woah - oh,
woah
Everybody says it can't happen here
Everybody says it can't happen
here
Things'll turn around just as sure as they said it
Hell, things change and they all
take credit
So ask why there's only forty songs on a station
And ask your cafe about
their coffee's plantation
And why is it Arizona hasn't gone solar?
And tell your print
shop that hemp grows faster
And it doesn't mean a back room clear cut disaster
The market
doesn't care but it wants to understand
And you can play the greed right into your
hands
Oh, woah - oh, woah
Smiling man says it can't happen here
Channel 4 says
it can't happen here
Things'll turn around just as sure as they said it
Hell, the change
comes and they all take credit
So roll up your pennies and do your battle
The
chairman will start quoting Chief Seattle and
Put little tree frogs on their
letterhead
'Cause the market resists and the market absorbs
With a five-pointed leaf on
the cover of Forbes
The very same people turned valleys to dams
These are the ones that
drain prairies to sand
And they'd just as soon you didn't know this land is your land
But
we can play the world back into our hands
Oh, woah - oh, woah
Malcom's gonna say it
can't happen here
Rupert's gonna say it can't happen here
Things'll turn around just as
sure as they said it
Hell, things change and they'll always take the credit
Oh, woah
- oh, woah
Oh, woah - oh, woah
Oh, woah - oh, woah
Hell the change
comes
Let's let 'em take the credit | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
