This began as an 80s thing, hence the Toto and Phil Collinsy stuff at the beginning, but for some reason it devolved into modern bubblegum crap in the chorus. I like it though, even the clichés of some of the chord progressions are pleasing, and I secretly love the tremolo vibraphone backgrounds. Don't tell. 

The lyrics come from several different speeches that are my attempt at a commentary on the current (and sad) state of our once great nation:

Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko in "Wall Street" (1987)
Vice President Joe Biden in a gun control interview (2013)
President Barack Obama in an interview on his Affordable Healthcare Plan (2013)
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford in an interview on his use of illicit drugs (2013)
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford in an interview on sexual harassment of his staffers (2013)
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford on the Bill O'Reilly Show

Based on the four criterial conditions of the clause, I claim the fair use exception to the copyrights of any of the works I have used in the creation of this track. They are all extremely brief in nature, have no effect on the original work, are not being sold, and in my opinion add flavor to the original works. 

Greed Is Good

I'm still in the hospital as I write this track. No vocals as I'm not allowed to scream in my hospital room but I wrote the song as an instrumental progression of everything that happened in my accident- from the wreck itself to the surgeries that followed.

WELCOME BACK SONG GAME!!
