a lot less greed

there's a lot of sadness in the world, brother
sometimes it ain't nothing but pain
the way we treat each other
it's just a crying shame
some say love is the answer
and that it's all you need
but I know one more thing, baby
we could do with a lot less greed
yes indeed
we could do with a lot less greed

I don't want to pay no taxes
hey, your piece is bigger than mine
why should I work while the world relaxes?
look, pal, you're cutting in line
there's a preacher on my TV
selling salvation for a sizable fee
I don't need your kind of religion, mister
and we could do with a lot less greed
let's proceed
we could do with a lot less greed
