    (G-are-E-E-D)
    It's a disease and they're all green
    It emanates from their being
    A satiation with occupation
    And like weeds with big leaves
    Stealing light from what's beneath
    Where they have more
    Still they take more
    I know, then I don't
    There's a stow-away with my throat
    It's deceiving, I don't believe him
    We can scream out our doors
    Behind the wall, a fat man snores
    In his dreams, he's choking ti leaves
    Well I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say
    But don't sell me, "there can't be better ways"
    Tell the captain, "the boat's not safe, and we're drowning"
    Turns out he's the one making waves, waves, waves...
    I said there's nothing wrong with what you say
    Believe me, I'm just asking you to sway
    No white or black, just grey
    Can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?
    Brain...
