| You got some shares, it’s a capital venture
|
| You hedge your bets with a gilt-edged bond
|
| You’re stretched out tight by the terms of debenture
|
| The game is on
|
| You got a fortune on paper
|
| How it shines on the VDU!
|
| The simple truth is that sooner or later
|
| The market plays you
|
| There goes the daylight!
|
| Night comes on the city so soon
|
| In the dance of the typical capitalists
|
| What piper plays the tune?
|
| Money’s ideal, money’s power
|
| Money’s the drive that’s more than skin-deep
|
| Hard at work through the twenty-four hours —
|
| Oh, but money’s never cheap
|
| You made some pretty deals, I hear you say
|
| Judas and Faust are squeaky clean…
|
| When the last of the deals have been cleared away
|
| What comes up on the screen?
|
| There goes the daylight —
|
| Night comes on the city so soon
|
| In the dance of the typical capitalists
|
| What piper plays the tune?
|
| Only the money
|
| But the deal includes us:
|
| We put ourselves into the stocks;
|
| When we built up the temple of the money-god
|
| We opened up Pandora’s box
|
| There goes the daylight
|
| Now there is silence on the floor
|
| Only money-computers chatter privately
|
| No people any more
|
| No people any more
|
| Only the money, only the money
|
| Is that what you want?
|
| Is that it?
|
| There goes the daylight |
