MR. GREED As recorded by John Fogerty (From the 1985 Album CENTERFIELD) [Intro] [Verse 1] Mr. Greed why you got to own everything that you see? Mr. Greed why you put a chain on everybody livin’ free? You’re hungerin’ for his house you’re hungerin’ for his wife And your appetite will never be denied You’re a devil of consumption; I hope you choke Mr. Greed [Chorus] How do you get away with robbin’? Did your mother teach you how? I hear you got away with murder did you do your mama proud? [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Mr. Greed why you got to take more than you can ever use? Bring ’em to their knees; isn’t it enough just to win while they lose? You bring no honor to the game you feast upon the blood and pain But the bones you hoard can only bring you shame There’s corruption in your path be that your epitaph Mr. Greed [Chorus] How do you get away with robbin’? Did your mother teach you how? I hear you got away with murder did you do your mama proud? [Outro-Guitar Solo]

La chanson décrit un personnage avide et insatiable, obsédé par la possession de tout ce qu’il voit, mettant en avant les conséquences néfastes de son comportement sur les autres. Il se moque des valeurs et se nourrit de la douleur de ceux qu'il exploite, cherchant toujours plus, sans jamais être rassasié. L'artiste interpelle ce personnage, soulignant son allure diabolique et la honte qui l'accompagne. Dans un contexte où l'individualisme et la compétition sont souvent célébrés, cette œuvre montre les dangers de l'égoïsme exacerbé et critique ceux qui sacrifieraient tout sur l'autel de leurs désirs matérialistes.
