Backwardation
Wage Inflation

Triple Witching

Swap Spread
V.A.R.

Suck it all, big and small
buy and sell, put and call
commodity, paper, property
oil and gas monopoly

Play it like a symphony
LBO the company
ship the jobs to God knows where
leave them homeless over here

Saddle kids with student debt
turn them into slaves for wages
all the while convincing them
they’re free to join the one percent

Government big money buys
regime change and media lies
Randian attitude toward the poor
Goldman Sachs seeks only more

And you’re thinking in your grand illusion
you too can join the one percent
but that isn’t very likely
for you see, the rich are different

And you don’t even speak the language
