Greed

[Brian mclaughlin]

I have eaten and my belly is filled
yet the sweet and savory flavors remain
my taste buds beg for more
so I surrender and continue to eat
my satisfaction had brought so much joy
but now the pain begins to grow in my gut
how foolish my over indulgence has become

[mnaz]

Yeah, that's not far from where we're at. It's not the whole story of course, and it's not just the U.S. either, but the surging capital machine and consumerist juggernaut is kinda scary right now (and doing a number on the earth's well-being)...

Of course, maybe you meant this more literally ...
