A Response to Greed Lyrics by The Elected

Me First

2004

[Verse 1]
At first, it seems like a bad dream
And you can't claw your way out
And the plea that you make so you could escape
Isn't answered but you'll figure it out
And all of the nightmares you based your life all around
Yeah, are now coming true
[Verse 2]
It's love or it's need, your response to greed
Find a reason, count yourself out
And in the bed where you lay where you'll drink it away
Anyway, to just draw this thing out
And that's just the trouble with long-term goals
And dreams, they're always being revised
[Chorus]
But my sister still cuts her arms
And my brother's still at the garage
And we've given all that we can, Mom
It's either sink or swim
And it's high time everyone else stopped paddling for them
[Bridge]
And it's a song, a song for the tired ones
A song for the sicks ones, a song for you
It's the song, song for the scared ones
Scared of this life, once just like me and you
And if a call, the call to the fight comes
Just call and I might run right back to you
'Cause I remember, yeah and I measure
I measure them all, all against you
That's right, all against you
