Markets go up, Markets go down Nobody knows it’s all overblown To the moon it goes, that’s what they say Pushing speculation, each and every day Play the Casino, the house always wins Rigging the game, just for fucking grins In for a penny, in for a pound, Ready for a miss and that sucking sound? Speculate, Speculate Now’s the time to tempt your fate Speculate, Speculate Up and up at an endless rate Speculate, Speculate Hoping the Fed inflates Speculate, Speculate Did you really take the bait? Growth über Alles, the corporate sprawl Resource depletion, until we hit the wall Socialized losses, privatized gains Corporate greed, completely insane Stratospheric highs, another record close How high it goes, nobody knows Buying the dip, how can you miss? Until the day it dies and takes a fucking piss No time to double down, ready to be drowned Beaten to the ground, shut it all down! Speculate, Speculate Propping up the puppet state Speculate, Speculate Up and up at an endless rate Speculate, Speculate Consequences aggregate Speculate, Speculate Can you really keep the Faith? The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, Inequality! Debts through the roof Prices on the rise Inequality! The interest you get, The interest you pay, Inequality! Handouts for the rich Austerity for the poor Inequality! The balance sheet grows, new all-times highs Debt doesn’t matter, that’s how money dies Driving up prices, raging inflation Resources soar, consumer frustration Technocratic babble, the Fed is inane The unelected power, we see that money reigns Playing with fire, ignoring the signs We’ve lost the skills, to read between the lines Waiting for the bounce, or ready to melt down? Beaten to the ground, shut it all down! Speculate, Speculate Barbarians are at the Gate Speculate, Speculate Down and down at a rapid rate Speculate, Speculate Consequences aggregate Speculate, Speculate How long until we seal our Fate? The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, Inequality! Debts through the roof Prices on the rise Inequality! Politicians bought, with money for power Inequality! Handouts for the rich Austerity for the poor Inequality!
