he wants even more.

his agent pulling the strings
greed is good to him.

gold watches and tatty bling

is the root of all evil
so the bible says.

a hedonistic mixture
it’s getting obscene.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Sterling an apt name
he’s got money on the mind
greedy footballer.

Notes

Reading about Raheem Sterling and his stalling over a new contract at Liverpool looks like he’s after more money elsewhere ? He says he wants to win trophies which he obviously doesn’t think then he’ll get at Anfield ? He’s only twenty and even though he’s a good player he isn’t world class yet. Methinks his agent has turned his head and money is rearing it’s ugly head here !
