lyrics

The markets:
Oh, what a dream
Inside the machine
Next Best Fools
Followed David’s pipers over the edge.

Chorus
He’s getting richer
He’s getting richer
Executive bonuses made from thin air

He pumped up the stocks
Then sold his shares off
A master of winning at musical chairs

Investment bank making money
Though no hospital is built
Corporate brass making honey
From a company they’ve killed.

Look on the ground
Debt trickles down
Jobs gone, homes too
Government shouldn’t interfere.

He’s getting richer
He’s getting richer
Executive bonuses made from thin air

He pumped up the stocks
Then sold his shares off
A master of winning at musical chairs

Investment bank making money
Though no hospital is built
Corporate brass making honey
From a company they’ve killed.

And the people cry that it isn’t fair
But reality is laissez faire…faire…faire
