Watching the signs that straddle the road

Telling of queues up ahead

Slamming our brakes down and clogging the lanes

Building the prophecy to fulfil its claims

Taking the hints from the markets in the morning

Listen to news that "a new age is dawning"

Selling some shares 'cos the values are falling

You ring up your mates and agree "it's appalling"

It's amazing how we all lap it up!

How we all drink from the poisoned cup

Pass it around, take it to town and make

Everything simple to follow and easy to follow

The guys at the bank are still wanting their cash

They've heard reports that it's turning to ash

Cameras there, ensure that tomorrow

There'll be no more money to beg, steal or borrow

It's amazing how we all take the bait

How the news gurus just cannot wait

To give us the rap and dole out the crap

And kill everything!

The airwaves are littered

With their freaking jitters

Don't forget about me!

I'm not so blind I can't see

That everything is going according to plan

And the motorway sign says "clear" again

And the markets are getting higher.......
