All the textbook stuff rolls
trade by batter
while we check the chains
below decks
the masters of commerce
thieves with guiles
the nameless pigs of pigs
go rope studs
take sea horses for farms
if they scream
or dare protest their fates
toss overboard
power and control is ours
anyway which way
any ****** which way
white is white
all others hues are tainted
to be manipulated
to be controlled and used
we're world artists
we can whitewash and erase
tell colourful history
for the devil's in the small prints
the fork's in our tongues
which we hide to control the controls
