7 Deadly Sinz - Greed

With this next track, it's a good time to talk about band manager Jeff Spleen. I met 'Spleener the Cleaner' with the rest of the guys back in 2002, and had a chance to talk at length with him about his role as band manager.

In so many words, he indicated that he had been assigned by Esophageal Records to manage Chap Roz as punishment for something he had done, but for exactly what he wouldn't confess. Spleen had the challenging role of keeping the band in check, both in the studio and while on tour. He must have spent half the night asking, “Where’s Stanley?”, and the other half telling nubile groupies, “They don’t pay me enough.” I think he went back to his hotel room alone that night.

Sid confirmed that the song representing GREED was an ode to Spleener the Cleaner.

What I Get is Never Enough

Life is rough
That’s just tough
And it’s never enough

You can huff
Wolves can puff
And it’s never enough

Never mind what I want
Never mind what I need
There’s one thing in this life that I know
And that’s what I got comin’ ain’t never gonna show

Cause what I get
Is never enough (never enough)
Yes what I get
Is all that you see
These empty hands
ain’t lonely at all
Cause what I get
Is never enough (never enough)

You can be bitchin'
Bout no food in the kitchen
And it’s never enough

You can be stuffin'
Your least favorite muffin
And it’s never enough

Never mind what I want
Never mind what I need
There’s one thing in this life that I know
And that’s what I got comin’ ain’t never gonna show

Cause what I get
Is never enough (never enough)
Yes what I get
Is all that you see
These empty hands
aren’t lonely at all
Cause what I get
Is never enough (never enough)
