Selfish benefits - were things I served
I knew I'd get - what I deserve
I rustled up - honour and fame
People pushed me to be ashamed

I neglected - my friends and dear ones
Irreparable losses - were my bonds
Distending greed - had taken place
Unbearable sorrow I was to face

I was aware of all that
I thought I was too busy to be sad

I was aware of all that
I thought I was too busy to be sad

Now there's no time
For repentance
No-one needs me
For romance
No children to be
Taken care of
I'm a timid old man
Withdrawn indoors

I have everything
Money can buy
Lack the most inevitable
Can't deny
I can't take this
Endless solitude
My overcharged life
Is too abused

chorus:
Too greedy
To hold on a minute
Too greedy
To hold on a minute

I'd sell my soul
To get more time
Unscrupulous past is
My only crime
I'm a humble meek
Whatever you desire
Just gimme courage to pass
Away with pride
