Greedy Bitch
Grieves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're such a greedy bastard
You're such a broken king that you
Don't know when you've already won
You wanna conquer everything

You're such a greedy bitch
You're such a hopeless queen that you
Don't know when you've been overthrown
You wanna fight for everything

The last castle fell, he wrote it in song
She got the whole world to control, and hold in your palms
Now that you got the (jew star?) hows it gonna go?
You wanna rip out a bruised heart and swallow it whole?
You wanna flip out and move on, find a new home
You wanna kick out the new start and call her on the phone like...

\"THERE'S NO WAY YOU'LL EVER FIND ANOTHER LIKE ME, IF YOUR NEW MAN DON'T LIKE IT, THEN I'LL COME OVER AND FIGHT HIM!\"

Pshhh, let go..
Why you try to keep her in a neck hold?
When every question she asks is answered with a HELL NO!
What you tryin to do?
Man it doesnt make a difference if shes lying to you
Besides...you're the one who wanted outta there too
Now youre so damn jealous you dunno what to do
So...you can hold on or sink with the ship and keep
Pulling it
Pulling it
Pullin down....

You're such a greedy bastard
Youre such a broken king that you
Dont know when youve already won
You wanna conquer everything

You're such a greedy bitch
Youre such a hopeless queen that you
Dont know when youve been overthrown
You wanna fight for everything

The last petals picked
Your romeo's dead
You need to pick yourself up and start living instead
You need to stop giving in to all the shit that he says
Makes you feel like a bitch when you try to forget...
Girl...
Stop thinkin he'll be comin back around for ya
Open up the car door and drive it outta town with ya
I hate to break it to ya lady, but its over
So you can cancel the search for your four leafed clover
Cuz aint no amount of wishin gonna bring him back
Aint no amount of givin gonna change his tracks
Aint no amount of cinnamon gonna sweeten the crap
That youve been taken from this dude tryna pretend that youre happy so...
Guess your lookin for the sunshine and progress
Waitin in the rain for your prince in your prom dress
You can hold on and sink with the ship and keep
Pulling it
Pulling it
Pullin down....

You're such a greedy bastard
You're such a broken king that you
Don't know when you've already won
You wanna conquer everything

You're such a greedy bitch
You're such a hopeless queen that you




Don't know when you've been overthrown
You wanna fight for everything

Overall Meaning

The song "Greedy Bitch" by Grieves is about two protagonists who are both struggling with their own desires. The lyrics describe a man who has won everything but still wants more out of life, while a woman is fighting to control everything around her. Both are characterized as being greedy - wanting more than what they already have.


The first verse describes the man as a "greedy bastard" and a "broken king," someone who doesn't know when he has already won. The second verse describes the woman as a "greedy bitch" and a "hopeless queen," someone who doesn't know when she has been overthrown. Both want to fight for everything that they desire, even though they already have everything they need.


The chorus repeats the same lines for both the male and female character, highlighting their similarities in their struggles. The bridge speaks to a failed romance, with references to petals and Romeo's death. The message of the song is to let go of the past and focus on progress rather than fighting for things that are unattainable or no longer present.


Overall, "Greedy Bitch" is a commentary on the modern desire for more, even when we already have what we need. It serves as a reminder to appreciate what we have and to let go of things that no longer serve us.
