Lyrics

They love the green.
They would steal
Give their souls to run fingers
Through your hair.
Catch a glimpse of your stare
They take a bite of the forbidden fruit.
Just to caress you for a while
For a moment you make them smile.
Everybody goes green with envy.
Even though you can’t make them happy.
Oh Benjamin
Oh Benjamin
We work and slave
Use the gifts that God gave us to earn you Benjamin
We dream and sweat.
To paint the castles of life we think we need.
We’re even willing to bleed.
Everybody goes green with envy.
Even though you can’t make them happy.
Oh Benjamin
Oh Benjamin
