Letra de Greedy Guts
Greedy guts came paddling down the Ottawa river Looking for a claim to call his own Staring off into a newborn nation On a landscape of stolen land and snowGreedy guts was whistling out some forgotten tune Something about destiny and fear He was talking some jive about moral superiority While the heat was rising around hereOohhhhh momma, What has been delivered? What has caused this darkness to remain?Oohhhhh momma, everything is changing And I'm not sure that I can stand this painGreedy guts was buying up all the land and timber Damning up the rivers lakes and streams He sure as heck, was no friend to the poor And he was stealing all the young persons dreamsThe air was thick with smoke and gasoline The water full of cancer and cocaine Some people got together tried drive him out But greedy and his cronies would remainOohhhhh momma, What has been delivered? What has caused this, darkness to remain?Oohhhhh momma, everything is changing And I'm not so sure, that I can stand this painYou can rage against the broken dreams, Kick against the apathetic pricks Make signs, sing out, even get arrested But you might get nothing but a truncheon stick and bricksThey sang out, This brand of Freedom, is a prison We are slaves to the practice of liberty More disrupters, more earth based religion And more time in nature for folks like you and meOne day Greedy guts, fell hard from on high A wasted life of extravagance and fool hearty ways We will not look kindly to the history he destroyed And the reign of greedy gut's daysOohhhhh momma, Did I see you crying? What has caused this? I can feel your painOohhhhh momma, everything is changing And I don't know how, we all can remain
