Lyrics
When the killing is over and the war comes to an end We'll find a reason to start one up again Ya can't change that with love or money or a folk song, friend Cause it's the oldest and our favorite sin Cause every human-being wants what all the other ones they've got and if we can't have our own we'll just take yours Since way back at the beginning of time war has been fought over food and wine women, oil, land, money, everything that shines And we always have a good excuse, religion, our political views, 'bringin our freedom to you, whether or not you mind, Every human-being wants what all the other ones they've got and if we can't have our own we'll just take yours Being content, that's the cure but it'll never, ever endure cause every generation, they just want more la-dee-da-da-da la-da-da-da.... you put your money in and your morals out take the company car scream and you shout make fun of your friends for their failure that's what it's about la-dee-da-da-da la-da-da-da.... If you think that guy you voted for is immune to greed you're a fool for sure cause amassing a fortune and honesty just don't mix It's the age old game of bait and switch appeal to the poor to get elected and then sell your vote to the elite makes you rich Cause every human-being wants what all the other ones they've got and if we can't have our own we'll just take yours Being content, that's the cure but it'll never, ever endure cause every generation, every state and nation, every politician, every singer/songwriter, folk musician, every suicide-bomber and family physician, ever out-of-work actress in a compromising position everybody you know they all want more. (and i do too). jefferson fox - 2010
