As recorded by John Fogerty (From the 1985 Album CENTERFIELD) [Intro] E G E G E G E G E [Verse 1]
E
Mr. Greed, why you got to own everything that you see?

E
Mr. Greed, why you put a chain on everybody livin' free?

E
You're hungerin' for his house, you're hungerin' for his wife

E
And your appetite will never be denied

                     B                               E
You're a devil of consumption; I hope you choke, Mr. Greed
[Chorus]
E
How do you get away with robbin'? Did your mother teach you how?

E
I hear you got away with murder, did you do your mama proud?
[Guitar Solo] E [Verse 2]
E
Mr. Greed, why you got to take more than you can ever use?

E
Bring 'em to their knees; isn't it enough just to win while they lose?

E
You bring no honor to the game, you feast upon the blood and pain

E
But the bones you hoard can only bring you shame

        B                                                  E
There's corruption in your path, be that your epitaph, Mr. Greed
[Chorus]
E
How do you get away with robbin'? Did your mother teach you how?

E
I hear you got away with murder, did you do your mama proud?
[Outro-Guitar Solo] E
