Greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy So greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy Now they saw the Celtic Tiger in my home town Brings jewels and crowns, picks you up off the ground But the Celtic Tiger does two things It brings you good luck or it eats you up for its supper It's the tale of the two cities on the shamrock shore Please Sir can I have some more Cos if you are poor you'll be eaten for sure And that's how I know the poor have more taste than the rich And that's how I know the poor have more taste than the rich Hear the Celtic Tiger roar - I want more Hear the Celtic Tiger roar - I want more, more, more The fastest growing inflation rate in the world, the cost of a run down house is absurd This isn't any age for a low income wage Ask anyone who's locked in a cage A couple with kids can't afford a place to live Even if they have a good job We're bring robbed by the builders and the fat cat government A league of greed and they don't even need for a thing It's a sin But it's the nature of the beast You'd better go and find a priest and confess Because your greed is gonna leave you soulless Where we gonna live, what we gonna do We'll have to move in with the woman in the shoe They're driving us onto the streets While the fat cat in government cheats, and always gets away with his crime A kid steals a jacket and does time Just look at the world around you Tell why is there so much need Because of greed So greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy
