lyrics

The oldest dreams of humankind
Most came true with the passage of time
Who would ever suggest to step back
Just a little, take account of the signs

Crying shame, boon and bane
The ball is rolling faster
Down the drain, words in vain
Who’s to blame? Who’s insane?
Nothing to look after
Down the drain, words in vain

We all knew it would come to this
A society of opportunists
No opportunity that we missed
To invest in duplication of our fortune

Still we look away
Still we preach and pray
We’ve learned nothing from each other
Nothing from history
A thousand lives per day
Don’t matter anyway
As long as markets have the power
We won’t see no change

Crying shame, boon and bane
The ball is rolling faster
Down the drain, words in vain
Who’s to blame? Who’s insane?
Nothing to look after
Down the drain, words in vain

We all knew it would come to this
Austerity measures; hit-or-miss
No money to calculate the risks
It’s all invested in the growth of our fortune
