Unconscious Want To Need

"Unconsicous Want To Need" (chords)

Tyler McLaughlin

plenty years ago

many people died

they were search'n for gold

some died filthy rich

but many more died with the itch

that never once got scratched

and left them cold

but to think for just a minute

that them rich ones had it good

that they were more better off

or that they were more understood

would be an error on our part

because them fools didn't have no heart

and in the end they'd deal with robin hood

oh there is a thing

and it makes some people sing

and it makes some people scream

but it turns people mean

it loves to feed

and it's not afraid to bleed

no it doesn't have no shame

but it does have a name

and it's called greed

it's an unconscious want to need

awe to take more than you get

and then throw a hissy fit

awe greed

just the other day

29 men died

they were digg'n for coal

in a west virginia mine

they left their families far behind

but them executives they're not out

in the cold

but to think just for a minute

that them big wigs got it made

because they got their bonus checks

and their mercedes in the shade

fade out 10 more years

and see them living in their fears

because they too

will get paid

oh there is a thing

and it makes some people sing

and it makes some people scream

but it turns people mean

it loves to feed

and it's not afraid to bleed

no it doesn't have no shame

but it does have a name

and it's called greed

it's an unconscious want to need

awe to take more than you get

and then throw a hissy fit

awe greed

greed will make you blind

it'll make itself so hard to find

it'll rust your heart and it will

burn up your mind

it don't care about out life

no it will kill it don't give a damn

it feeds on fear and on foreign land

it'll stop at nothing it loves

to push and shove

but there's one thing that will defeat it

it's called pure love

and there is a thing

and it makes some people sing

and it makes some people scream

but it turns people mean

it loves to feed

and it ain't afraid to bleed

no it doesn't have no shame

but it does have a name
