about

Latin pop flavored rocker with sly references to West Side Story; a young mother ponders greed American style. Catchy!

lyrics

GREED
Gerry & Stephanie Spehar

Greed; how much do we need?
Greed; why do we have to make everything so hard?

I know a lady with a baby and a job and a man
She's always on the run but the baby always has fun
And the man who works so hard is always in her heart
She fades in, she fades out, she says that's what life's about
You just do what you can for your baby and your man
But why do we have to make everything so hard?

Greed; call it what it is
Greed; how much do we need?

Enough money to go around so I could lay this baby down
Do my job like I can, take better care of my man
I do right, I do good, try to live life like I should
I fade in, I fade out, cause that's what life's about
I just do what I can for my baby and my man
Why do we have to make everything so hard?

Oh, oh, I row and I row
Up and down we go
Why do we have to make everything so hard?

In Sweden, Finland, Germany and France
That baby, that lady, they'd have a better chance
In London, Wall Street, Paris and Beijing
The money flows to the pockets of greed; you know it does

Greed; call it what it is
Greed; how much do we need?
We fade in, fade out, cause that's what we're about; greed
We work hard every day but we never get fair pay; it's greed
Why do we have to make everything so hard?

Greed; call it what it is
Greed; it's you and me
Greed; how much do we need?
Greed is taking us down
Why do we have to make everything so hard?
