From the recording Demon Station
This song describes a person who relentlessly pursued more, despite being given everything. The lyrics suggest a theme of insatiable greed, highlighting that no matter how much was given, "it wasn't enough." The piece contrasts the material wealth and lavish lifestyle achieved with the question of whether "money can buy" true fulfillment, ultimately concluding that "it wasn't enough."
Lyrics
YOU GOT GOING WHEN THE GOING GOT TOUGH
PACKED YOUR SILVER SPOON AND BOARDED THE GRAVY TRAIN
YOU SQUEEZED BLOOD FROM A STONE
MILKED ME DRY AS A BONE
IT WASN’T ENOUGH
YOU ALWAYS WANTED MORE
NO MATTER HOW MUCH I GAVE
IT WASN’T ENOUGH
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO FILL YOUR NEEDS
GREED IS A WEED THAT INVADES
I GAVE YOU MY HEART FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
YOU JOINED THE PRETTY PEOPLE IN PURSUIT OF PLEASURE
YOU COULDN’T COMPROMISE YOUR LIFESTYLE
I GAVE YOU A YARD, YOU TOOK A MILE
IT WASN’T ENOUGH
YOU ALWAYS WANTED MORE
NO MATTER HOW MUCH I GAVE
IT WASN’T ENOUGH
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO FILL YOUR NEEDS
GREED IS A WEED THAT INVADES
NOW LOOK AT WHAT A LOT YOU’VE GOT
A LIFE OF YACHTS
YEAH YOU’VE GOT IT ALL
YOU KNOW WHAT MONEY CAN BUY
BUT IS THAT ALL THERE IS?
IT WASN’T ENOUGH
YOU ALWAYS WANTED MORE
NO MATTER HOW MUCH I GAVE
IT WASN’T ENOUGH
WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO FILL YOUR NEEDS
GREED IS A WEED THAT INVADES
IT WASN’T ENOUGH
