From the recording Golden Delicious
Lyrics
Money-hungry green
Money-hungry blue
That fat rich man
Don’t see like I do
Can’t see past his belly
Can’t see past his pipe
Can’t smoke it fast enough
So he raises the price
Yeah he raises his glass
To toast his own jam
Drinks the whole bottle
Then he asks how I am
Not cause he cares
Not cause he knows
Not cause he’ll change
His cash for my woes
He just likes to feel big
He likes to feel strong
He likes to feel that paper
Pressed inside his palm
As he shakes his hands
As he waves his fists
As he jiggles that ticker tape
Like piss from his dick
Yeah he likes to feel big
He likes to feel strong
He likes to feel something
Cause he’s got nothing at all
Nothing that don’t
Burn in a flash
Just paper and bones
Some flesh and some fat
While 24 karats
Hang above me like food
But all that seed in his hand
Can’t lure me to screw
What’s money-hungry green
What’s money-hungry blue
That fat rich man
Is my least favorite hue
Money-hungry green
Money-hungry blue
I thank god (if there is one)
I don’t see like you
