With this song, I wanted to talk about the sin of greed, but in a lighthearted, humorous way. Of course, “Cupidity Makes You Greedy” is a tautology. The title just popped into my head one day while I was working on something else, and I thought, “That actually sounds great!” So I turned it into a song.
That being said, greed is a very dangerous sin. When you always want more, you eventually lose everything…
He stacked his gold into a wall
But still he said, “It’s not enough at all”
Jesus walked in, calm and free
Said: “Greed is chains, can’t you see?”
Cupidity makes you greedy
Cupidity makes you blind
Cupidity makes you greedy
Takes your soul and steals your mind
He bought the world, but lost his smile
Chased his hunger mile by mile
Jesus laughed: “Man, don’t you know?
You can’t buy peace, you can’t buy hope”
Cupidity makes you greedy
Cupidity makes you blind
Cupidity makes you greedy
Leaves your heart so far behind
More… More… More…
All the coins fall through your hand
Like castles made of plastic sand
Jesus says: “Love is free
Not another shopping spree”
Cupidity makes you greedy
Cupidity makes you blind
Cupidity makes you greedy
Takes your soul and steals your mind
Greedy… Greedy… Greedy…

Haha I love the title 😆 ‘Cupidity Makes You Greedy’… I already feel guilty just reading the lyrics! But seriously, the reminder that love is free is worth more than all the gold in the world ❤️
