With the talons of an eagle
And a crocodile's skin
A temperament that typifies
The greed that lies within
Just like these hunter- gatherers of old
With a passion for everything from diamonds to gold

With the fire that's within you
Burning out of control
The seeds of megalomania
Have been planted in your soul
Resurrected now in human form
Unfold your wings and fly into the eye of the storm

Today
Is just like yesteryear
Living with the fear
Of losing it all
Things
Are just like they were then
In the dragon's den

With the head of a serpent
And a snake-like attitude
Some are now as they were then
Wicked, selfish dudes
Using fair means or foul to protect
Their precious collection, they don't care about respect

Today
Is just like yesteryear
Living with the fear
Of losing it all
Things
Are just like they were then
In the dragon's den

How much?! How much do you need?
How much?! How much can you use?
Where?! Where did it all come from?
Are you sure it's yours?
What?! What is it all worth?
Will you ever know?
What?! What do you stand to gain?
What have you really got to show?

Today
Is just like yesteryear
Living with the fear
Of losing it all
Things
Are just like they were then
In the dragon's den
