TORCH OF GREED
You're left with an empty hand
Like a stupid businessman
Who tried to milk a golden bull
On the Wall Street where walls are full
Of dirty men with dirty hands
The statue still proudly stands
And hails to the liberty
Burning dollars in the torch of greed
Her wealth is based on the debt
And it can not be kept
When you and me hit the depths
Of recession we can't accept
Let's hail to the liberty
Burning dollars in the torch of greed
Some have wealth, some poverty
Burning dollars in the torch of greed
Try to take a Big Apple slice
A bit too big to downsize
You remember the singing man
Who sung: "First we take Manhattan"
And then the rest of Mother Earth
Its value's more than its worth
Let's hail to the liberty
Burning dollars in the torch of greed
Why don't we give a little seed?
For those who are most in need
We just keep our markets freed
Burning dollars in the torch of greed
Let's hail to the liberty
Burning dollars in the torch of greed
Some have wealth, some poverty
Burning dollars in the torch of greed
Yeah, we just keep on burning
Burning dollars in the torch of greed |
