The Fire Fact'ry

A song for the Bernie Madoff's of the world.

Fire’s burn in the cauldrons.
Money’s made in the smoke.
Planets melt with the bubbles.
The rich man turns the bowl.

We ask for something.
The scraps from the brew.
But there’s nothing left
Except for today’s who’s who.
We just want enough to survive.
They can’t have it all if we aren’t alive.

Smoke stacks.
Buildings.
Building economy.
Lungs hack.
Dying.
Deadly monstrosity.
Cash flow.
Recedes.
Receding economy.
Ice shelf.
Recedes
Receding monstrously.

We ask for something.
The scraps from the brew.
But there’s nothing left
Except for today’s who’s who.
We just want enough to survive.
They can’t have it all if we aren’t alive.
