Story behind the song
Have ya tried to shove a camel through the eye of a needle lately? (Mathew 19:24) This hard swingin' indictment of the 'root of all evil' (no--not SDMI!) features tough language and tough, tangled acoustic guitar leads throughout. (Dedicated to Jim and Tammy Faye -- together in our hearts forever. Kind of like Sartre's 'No Exit'.)
Lyrics
It's the gospel of greed they call it the age of me but it isn't just I it is them and thee Now it's natural to want to take care of yourself but when you take too much you steal from someone else and if you think they're gonna take it lying down you must be some kinda politician or TV-preacher clown riding around in your Mercedes Benz givin money to hookers and screwing your friends (You're singing) I don't care if the eskimos freeze long as they don't sneeze on me I don't care if the starving survive long as they don't try to make a feast of a slice of my pie [ more music | onebluenine.com | messages ]
