        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone!  This song is a co-write with TSF's very own Toney Wright <a data-username="Cove" data-userid="9710" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thesongwritersforum.com/vanilla/profile/Cove">@Cove</a>.  Toney was a lot of fun to work with as we emailed back and forth, your turn, my turn to write the lyric and then we combined efforts on melody and Toney did the music.  </p><p>The song idea all started with Toney's latest car insurance bill, went up $150 in one clip; no accidents nor infractions.  Any comments, suggestions are welcome.</p><p>For a listen ==&gt; <a href="https://soundcloud.com/reneelachapelle/greedy-sum-guns" rel="nofollow noreferrer ugc">https://soundcloud.com/reneelachapelle/greedy-sum-guns</a></p><p>GREEDY SUM-GUNS</p><p>V1</p><p>Well, you know this country is run by banks and corporations</p><p>Nickel and dimin’ us on top ‘a all the rules and regulations</p><p>Now, I got my automobile insurance bill today</p><p>A hundred-fifty bucks more and all I do is pay an’ pay</p><p> </p><p>[Chorus]</p><p>Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole</p><p>Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul</p><p>And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies</p><p>Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone history</p><p> </p><p>V2</p><p>Took a little trip to the grocery store, twenty bucks more than the week before</p><p>Now, the county tax collector, he’s ‘a knockin’ down my door</p><p>And I got a stack ‘a doctor bills, I’ll be dead before I can pay</p><p>Then they'll take my kids’ inheritance; that's the American way</p><p> </p><p>[Chorus]</p><p>Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole</p><p>Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul</p><p>And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies</p><p>Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone history</p><p> </p><p>V3</p><p>And I’m prayin’ for the day when the pyramid topples to the ground</p><p>Prayin’ for the day the one-percent can no longer be found</p><p>‘Cuz there’s enough gold and Bitcoin to go around for everyone</p><p>And I heard it through the grapevine the dirty rats are on the run</p><p> </p><p>[Chorus]</p><p>Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole</p><p>Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul</p><p>And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies</p><p>Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone history</p><p> </p><p>[Music]</p><p> </p><p>[Chorus]</p><p>Those greedy sum-guns always puttin’ me in a deeper hole</p><p>Greedy sum-guns like the Devil, they ain’t got no soul</p><p>And I’m done listenin’ to their leave you high-an’-dry policies</p><p>Those greedy sum-guns need to become bygone</p><p>Bygone</p><p>Bygone history!</p><p> </p><p>© 2025 Toney Wright &amp; Renee La Chapelle – All Rights Reserved</p>]]>
