There’s a world unreal made of glass & steel
Where they deal in stocks & shares
No voracious eel has rapacious zeal
Like the hedge-fund millionaires
It’s a garden where if you don’t care care
They will steal your wealth by stealth
So be wise beware of the bull and bear
Who are bad for fiscal health
Chorus:
Down in the garden of corporate greed
Where Beelzebub does dwell
Bats & rats & the fat-cats breed
And the air has a sulphur smell
Bulls & bears as they buy-sell shares
Think the world is theirs to own
Down in the garden where the fat-cats feed
And the seeds of greed are sown
There’s a ruling clique who exploit the weak
And who seek to rule your life
They are tough as teak with a vicious streak
And an asset-stripping knife
They connive they strive they can stay alive
In a shark-infested pool
They can duck & dive and survive and thrive
Where it’s cool to be a ghoul
Chorus:
Now it’s oh so plain that the search for gain
Where the money never sleeps
Brings a lot of pain & it must explain
Why the Lady Justice weeps
It’s an old old tale and it should be stale
Yet it’s fresh as morning dew
We can lift the veil let the truth set sail
But it’s up to me & you
