Lyrics
:
You are the power and the glory You are the weakness in defeat Like the rise and fall of the British Empire You make me sick with your conceit You are the weakness You are the sickness that�s in my soul You are you are you are the maker You are called greed and you�re a cheat You are you are you are the deceiver You are not welcome in my life You are the maker of illusions You break up every dream we�ve ever made And as I rise up from the ashes You raise up your ugly head have you no shame Too long you have lain there Too far too long too strong I will break your hold You are you are you are the maker You are called greed and you�re a cheat You are you are you are the deceiver You are not welcome in my life You sow the seeds for our destruction You break up everything we�ve done You hold your hands out for forgiveness You bite the hands the hands that feed You are the weakness You are the sickness that�s in my soul You are called greed and you�re a cheat You are you are you are the deceiver You are not welcome in my life

Mike Peters Notes
:”A treatise on greed”. “We’ve always said ‘go out and get what you can,’ but I believe there’s a line to be drawn. I don’t want to take too much from our audience, or too much out of life. This was a hard song to write, coming from feelings that weren’t quite definable. So it came out quite obscure, with some strange twists in it.”
(Boston Rock, 1984)
