it’s the economy stupid

Hang Seng, Nasdaq, LSE
all for one and more for me
branch to branch in the money tree
wave to the proles
with their begging bowls
while you lunch on profits and profiteroles
climate tanking, water polluted
don’t you know it’s the economy stupid

trickle down tax breaks, no regulation
fire & rehire without hesitation
zero hours for the population
control the press
hide the mess
the poison fruits of your success
suited, booted, deeply rooted
don’t you know it’s the economy stupid

big estates and super yachts
golden babes in golden cots
suckled on land the law forgot
Eton, Bentley
private entry
Goodwood, Cheltenham, Windsor, Henley
watch from the gates, money looted
now you know – it’s the economy stupid
