Offshore Banking Business |
| Bermuda in the Bahamas |
| Front street Hamilton |
| They doin' more than growing bananas |
| They got a tax dodge going on |
| Offshore banking business |
| International crime |
| Offshore banking business |
| Happening all the time |
| Banks and corporations are registered |
| And operating there |
| They don’t employ any local staff |
| And I don’t know if you are aware |
| One American sitting at a desk |
| With a plaque outside on the wall |
| Huh, you know that’s what they call |
| Offshore banking business |
| Some kind of financial thing, yeah |
| Offshore banking business |
| The man with the money |
| He’s gonna swing up there from the tree |
| You got some pennies and the pounds |
| Your head’s going round |
| With a bunch of figures |
| That your mind can’t compound |
| I say as I would say |
| Who wants to know? |
| I would say I wanna know |
| Who’s got my money? |
| Who’s got my sense? |
| Why is everybody trying to steal my pence? |
| Guy in the city |
| Guy in the news |
| Everybody giving me the financial blues, yeah |
| Who’s behind this operation? |
| I’ll tell you you what I know |
| (And I know more than the rest) |
| Newspaper barons and oil tycoons |
| Watching their money grow |
| It’s not an idle rumour nor no scandal talk |
| All of the profits are washed through |
| Curacao, Panama, New York |
| Offshore banking business |
| You better watch your chin, Jim |
| Offshore banking business |
| IMF never gonna let you in with this |
| Offshore banking business |
| You think it’s just money that counts |
| Offshore banking business |
| Well sure gonna come mash up your bank account |
