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
