The monetary balance has gone crazy In this world we call our home, The fiscal market's shot to hell Stock collapsing like a stone. The hedge deals are un sellable Most banks refuse to loan Good real estate is valueless The roof's a "Plummet Zone".
Oh yes the suits are stepping out for air And falling like a stone, Termination of their worries Beats explanations on the phone. There's always a dependable To help clean up the place, And oblivion's a better option Than awkward questions and disgrace.
Capitulating companies, Whole nations in default The piggy banks are bulging With the greenbacks from the vault. The banks refuse to part with cash Lines of depositors do queue And the finance houses shut their doors Explaining, briefly, "Well...*******!"
Heads of Government meet and talk The photo ops are really grand, Banner headlines in the daily's Report resolutions that seem bland. The fanfare and the hoopla Announce the remedy is payoffs.... And global confidence is sprinting For the trees...In panicked chaos!
But the C.E.O's are catered for Their future is secure, There's several million tucked away In the Cayman Island tour. Unfortunate about the desolation left behind But these things are bound to happen When the blind do lead the blind.
There will be some opportunities, Some bargains coming up And the prudent keep the check book close For when the number's up... Of all those struggling little people Who bravely slave away And collapse before they realize Their firm's capacity to pay.
So What's around the corner? Do we hide our heads in sand? Do we kiss our **** goodbye And join the suits in splatter land? Or do we bravely hoist our trousers Hitch our belts another notch, And convince ourselves that someone Higher up has got the watch And the ability to work out What the hell is going on.. And deliver us from evil Before the world is ****** gone?
