An observation about greed, revenge and taking whatever you want from someone when you have the advantage.
lyrics
Say goodbye to nice, benign and polite
this kind and mild quiet disguise
my eyes are wide it's time to strike while I'm standing on higher ground.
and that's life so if I decide to bite a much mightier slice of this pie
stand by for your demise
I'm coming for what's
MINE. ALL MINE.
Unleash the green eyed greedy evil beast
I'm gonna need you to hand over the cheese.
Freeze while me and my family feast on your empire falling down.
Believe me there's no mean feelings beneath
but it's eat or be eaten and it's either you or me.
It's gonna get real hard to breathe when I'm coming for what's
MINE. ALL MINE.
I like what you have I wanna take it from you.
I like what you have I wanna take it from you.
I just yearn to win I'm not concerned about you.
Everything you thought you knew is now in my favour.
