about

Written by Tamara Lewis & Michael Derning

lyrics

You got more than me, he’s got more than you.
If he’s got a mansion, you’ve got to have two.
There’s never a bottom to your wishing well,
You think you’ll get to heaven through the three gates of hell.

When you leave your mark it will be a bruise,
Cause the world is your oyster and you’ll
Use and use and use and use,
Use and use and use and use and use.

You make us believe everyone poses danger.
You teach us to fear every dark skinned stranger.
You pour your poison into the once pure river.
You promise a change but you never deliver.

You destroy the past while you make the news,
But as long as you’re lying well you’ll
Use and use and use and use,
Use and use and use and use and use.

You want to reap what you’ve never sowed,
The weak and the weary they carry the load.
You hitch a ride on the backs of the poor,
When all dreams have died, you send them to war.

When you leave your mark it will be a bruise,
Cause the world is your oyster and you’ll
Use and use and use and use,
Use and use and use and use and use.

In all of our hearts there’s kindness and greed,
The one that will win is the one that you feed.
In all or our hearts there’s kindness and greed,
The one that will win is the one that you feed.

When you leave your mark it will be a bruise,
Cause the world is your oyster and you’ll
Use and use and use and use,
Use and use and use and use and use.
