Those Greedy Bastards

[Backwards masking]
We are the people from the planet of the fire
We are the people from the planet of the fire

[Verse 1]
They took the spunk out of funk to release the junk and say 'Sure it will sell'
They took the rock out of roll, threw it into a hole and said rot in hell
They took a whole lot of swiss and put it in the ozone layer
They took the joke outta smoke and laced it with coke and make a rich man broke

[Chorus]
Those greedy bastards take everything
They took the un out of fun, they put it into a gun
They'll make you limp if you run (They'll make you blind if you see)
They'll make you black if you blue
They'll make you choke if you chew
Stop wishing you weren't you (Be happy you are not me)

[Verse 2]
They took the B out of boom, replaced it with dyna, I'm a human dying
They left the art in artist, edit the column, the art of none
They took the love out of life, replaced it with a knife, that'll cut you if you fall
They took the blue from the sky, the green from the land, replaced it with a strip mall

[Chorus]
Those greedy bastards take everything
They took the un out of fun, they put it into a gun
They'll make you limp if you run (They'll make you blind if you see)
They'll make you black if you blue
They'll make you choke if you chew
Stop wishing you weren't you (Be happy you are not me)

[Bridge]
Sha-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na

[Chorus]
Those greedy bastards take everything
They took the un out of fun, they put it into a gun
They'll make you limp if you run (They'll make you blind if you see)
They'll make you black if you blue
They'll make you choke if you chew
Stop wishing you weren't you (Be happy you are not me)

[Outro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Sha-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na
Ah-ah
Sha-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na
Ah-ah
Sha-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na
Ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
