Take off your polished handmade Italian shoes Yes, take them off, right here in the street Peel off those thin black dress socks Walk into the cheap barber shop And tell the barber to shave your head That full head of thick corporate hair Now walk barefoot and bald in your $3000 pinstriped business suit and your silk tie and cufflinks and starched white shirt Walk barefoot though the financial district Everyone will stare Your colleagues and friends and competitors will laugh As dust collects on your smooth clean white soles Destroy your privilege Cut ties Burn your bridges Barefoot bald and humiliated You can start again

Mr. Wall Street
Take off your polished handmade Italian shoes Yes, take them off, right here in the street Peel off those thin black dress socks Walk into the cheap barber shop And tell the barber to shave your head That full head of thick corporate hair Now walk barefoot and bald in your $3000 pinstriped business suit and your silk tie and cufflinks and starched white shirt Walk barefoot though the financial district Everyone will stare Your colleagues and friends and competitors will laugh As dust collects on your smooth clean white soles Destroy your privilege Cut ties Burn your bridges Barefoot bald and humiliated You can start again
