lyrics

Banks are running dry, the money’s all gone, politicians are adamant :
“it’s necessary to spend billions to refill their funds”, they fear the system’s explosion
It might be embarrassing, when half the world is still starving
Banks debts evaporate, markets are corrupted, money’s value is overrated
They’re stronger than the states, they rule the whole planet, their profits and their debts are emptying our pockets
It’s a tragic scheme, their methods are obscene, they sow poverty and then harvest dirty money
A profit-based economy distributes earnings differently
It thrives on poverty, in sparing no country, fuck you if you’re hungry

Cash flow’s getting big, debt’s eliminated, more profits for the rich / There is no justice
No hope for you and me, in this mad economy, there’s no solidarity / This is a standoff
Constant crisis and recession, the reasons for massive starvation / Know your enemy
These malfunctions cause no reaction, the system’s locked and under protection

Government and Establishment are infested with these
First class criminals / White collars and traders
Money controls the way they think, they’re devoid of all feelings
They’re obsessed by benefits / They earn tons more than they can spend
Their greed is only pride / power’s always by their side / without any common sense / we’re all bored with their offence
Life means less than their damn gold / these crooked bastards are cold / Pay their moms they can be sold

Cash flow’s getting big, debt’s eliminated, more profits for the rich / There is no justice
No hope for you and me, in this mad economy, there’s no solidarity / This is a standoff
Constant crisis and recession, the reasons for massive starvation / Fight the right enemy
These malfunctions cause no reaction, the system’s locked and under protection

Money doesn’t grow on trees / Do you think they fuckin’know?/ They don’t cause they have no worries/ Now react, don’t let them go
Enough paid for their mistakes / Their death should be listed on /on / the stock exchange
