Carousel Economics

 

Verse 1

Lights shine brightly

Organ whirs to life

The carousel ride starts

Ready to peddle more lies

 

Carnival ride operators

In bulging pin stripe suits

Grin as they pull levers

More victims in their loops

 

Chorus

Trickle down economy

The concept is as joke

Makes the fat cats richer

The rest without a hope

 

Verse 2

The ride spins quickly

Money flying from pockets

Suits there to collect it

Slowly bleeding the suckers

 

Dont worry yells the King

The suits will give it back

They will build a bigger ride

Benefits for all from that

 

Chorus

Trickle down economy

The concept is as joke

Makes the fat cats richer

The rest without a hope

 

Verse 3

Dont you thieving bastards

You never have in the past

You give yourself tax cuts

Spending nothing on the rest

 

Why would we trust you

Its the same every ride

We start off smiling

Something you cant abide

 

Chorus

Trickle down economy

The concept is as joke

Makes the fat cats richer

The rest without a hope

 

Verse 4

The ride eventually stops

Off we all trudge

The fat cats all sit back

Looking richer and smug

 

Chorus

Trickle down economy

The concept is as joke

Makes the fat cats richer

The rest without a hope
