about
“Greed and Desperation” by So Soaked is about how capitalism keeps pushing the human condition to grow selfishly in the excess of privilege without the consideration for others. The blatant systemic inequalities dividing our world continues to degrade the effort needed to resolve the issues from a selfless position. Pull up a seat at the bar next time you’re alone and feel free to sing along.
lyrics
Everywhere I look
It’s greed and desperation (greed and desperation)
The true morality of this dumb nation
It ain’t red or blue, black or white
Educated or not
It should be wrong against right
You eat and feed
Way beyond your means (beyond your means)
Pile it high till it blocks the sun outta the sky
Taking favors like a table for two
When there's plenty of room at the bar for you
Everywhere I look (everywhere I look)
It’s greed and desperation (greed and desperation)
The true morality of this dumb nation
It ain’t red or blue, black or white
Educated or not
It should be wrong against right
Parodies and satire?
Well, go on with those antics (semantics)
Sure evil loses to win
Isn’t it so romantic? (aww)
Boxed up regrets
To avoid another disaster (whoa)
Stopped placing bets
With the mystery of their canned laughter (ha-ha-ha-ha)
Thirsty for a chance
To say, “everything’s gonna be okay” yay!
This emptiness is a wagon
Left in the night and not in the day
Clutching fists for a positive light
To invest in a new hope
Passions underwhelmed
And choked up from the folk
Break Pause
*coughing*
Everywhere I look (everywhere I look)
It’s greed and desperation (greed and desperation)
The true duality
Of this fucked up nation
It ain’t red or blue, black or white
We shouldn’t have to be wrong
Just so y’all can be right, well..
You’ll scrape for scraps
After the next big collapse (collapsed by scraps)
There ain’t no praise after the guillotine’s raised
Your acclamation for the woes in the air
Will find you guilty of encouraged despair, now
Everywhere I look
It’s greed and desperation (x8)
Everywhere I look
I’m greeting desperation (x2)
Everywhere I look
I’m green with desperation
