Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
You know, the Italian writer Dante wrote
The Divine Comedy or The Inferno in the middle ages
And in it
He sees hell as having different categories of punishment
We're now on greed, or covetousness
Which is not the deadlist of the seven deadly
But maybe it ought to be
At least, for Americans
And those in western culture
You will not covet your neighbour's property
You will not covet your neighbour's wife
Your neighbour's man-servant
Or your neighbour's donkey
I am the lord, your God

There's nothing wrong with money
It's a tool
It is the love of money
It's the obsession with things
That can become the root of all kinds of evil
Violence, robbery, killing
The list goes on
And all these things are done
Because of a love of money
Greed
