I dream of love like bankers dream of fees

dream
_Munching, crunching on a bone, The trolls of Langwood growl and moan. Through feral mutterings and drivel, They gulp and choke down last night's grizzle. In their cave on rocky mountains high, Their scaly skin cracks from air so dry. Once human men poisoned by greed, Transformed into ogres for their misdeeds. They prayed on people of modest means, Until our good sorceress intervened. She protects our land and keeps us safe, From warlords and bankers filled with hate. Condemned to live long foul lives, The trolls of Langwood miss their wives. For they now resemble their truer selves, Forever denied the beauty of men and elves._

The Trolls of Langwood
And now we're losing interest Cause we took on things at our own expense Watch the Dollars burn or go to Bankers As we all lose our ****** Sense!

You Have No Cents
They walk aloof among us Three percent of the population They reluctantly dine with us Quietly, stifling their frustration They don't look back as you pass They don't want your conversation Empathy is just an alien concept They focus only on self preservation But here's where it gets strange We worship them with huge salaries We beg them to lead us the way We ignore their blatant deceptiveness We hand them our hard earned pay If they say bail out the banksters Or send your kids to a dubious war We offer them our kids and cash Knowing that they will ask for more Stranger still Our history has been sculpted by them We raise bronze statues proudly in their honor Through our plain idleness and cowardice They can reduce this planet to a nuclear goner "How did this madness occur?" We question Why do psychos run banks and governments Checking world history offers a suggestion To why we (the population) are slaves for rent We are simply afraid of those That successfully navigate life With reckless irresponsibility Unchallenged by others strife It is those destructive characters We plead to take political risks In return for obedience and cash To buy more power and obelisks
