Green Disease

Holy mother of god I have found a new love and appreciation for this song. I will admit that it never really did anything for me in the slightest. Recently just got out of a relationship and stumbled upon this song, and for the last 2 weeks I haven't been able to stop listening to it.
It's a disease,... and they're all green
It emanates from their being
A satiation,.. with occupation
And like weeds,.. with big leaves
Stealing light from what's beneath
Where they have more,...
Still they take more
Course I know,.. then I don't
There's a stowaway with my throat
It's deceiving...
I don't believe him
We can scream,.. out our doors
Behind the wall a fat man snores
In his dreams he's,...
Choking Ti leaves
Well I guess
There's nothing wrong with what you say
But don't sell me,
'There can't be better ways'
Tell the captain
'This boats not safe
And we're drowning.'
Turns out
He's the one making waves
I said
There's nothing wrong with what you say
Believe me
Just asking you to sway
No white
Or black
Just grey
Can you feel this...
World with your heart and not your brain?
G-R-E-E-D..... G-R-E-E-D

Awesome song and I love the way it makes me feel
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Seriously ... be a "lyrics" guy, this has always been among my favorite RA songs.
"Turns out he's the one making waves" -- how damning is that?
for the least they could possibly do
That line, when eddie sings it... it's so motivating somehow:o
I'll Hold The Pain... Release...
