Lyrics
THE PRICE
If greed is good I aim to be the best there was
Playing fast and loose with all rules just because
I was sitting at the top
Never wanted it to stop
If money really equals power I was king
Offered anything and I took everything
My hunger knew no bounds
Until I hit the ground
For all the pain I caused
To those that mean the most
I'll work to make it up to them
Fear I won't come close
Spoken by someone who knows what loss can mean
What I bought or owned means nothing now to me
There's a truth I have to face
The price for power has been paid
There's a truth I have to face
The price for power has been paid
The price for power has been paid
