about
"A sort of musical version of Wall Street —'Greed, I wanna chase up to the top' —but six years earlier! Again, some dub influences, but Chic and rap influences again as well as bands like the Au Pairs and The Gang of Four. I was trying to satirise the yuppie in song —'Greed - I want the money and the fun and the fun and the money.' I feel this song is perhaps gentler than the other two. It was telling the tale of the society we were being sold, one of striving and dog-eat-dog greed, while the general public were being offered a vision of a lifestyle they couldn’t get because their hands were tied by both honesty and poverty."
-Glenn
lyrics
[chorus]
Going Nowhere (my hands are tied)
Going Nowhere (my hands are tied)
Going Nowhere (my hands are tied)
Free
I wanna loose through the ropes of this nowhere
Free
Got to get up on the ladder
Free
Gotta find myself a place in the hothouse, hothouse
Free
Gotta push, gotta push ’til I’m at the front
Free
Wanna run with the fun, wanna drop this skin’
Free
Wanna see their faces cry behind me!
Free
I’m tied too tight, but if the pressures right
Free
I’m busting out in a rage and you’d better duck.
Wanna name
Wanna name
Wanna name
In the game
In the game
It’s the same
You put your brother
In the shit
In the shit
This it
This is what we’re living for
It’s the score
To the core
Just on more
And then we’re living.
[chorus]
Greed
I wanna chase up to the top
Greed
I never ever ever ever ever wanna stop
Greed
See, I’ll have you crawling at my feet
Greed
Want the money and the fun and the fun and the money
Greed
Crawl back into the woodwork
Greed
If only I had the time, if only I had the place
Greed
Want my face on the pages of a magazine,
Greed
I want it all.
Want a ball
Want a ball
Want a ball
I want it all
Want it all
You can fall
Catch your money falling out
Falling out
Falling out
Ain’t no doubt
Just remember my name
From the game
It’s a shame
That it’s you that does the digging.
[repeat chorus til fade]
