Hunting the Lost<br />
America's a derivative economy<br />
Where only the Bank's<br />
Allowed to run home to Mommy.<br />
<br />
Insurance, Real Estate, Pharmaceuticals, Oil,<br />
Double, double toil and trouble,<br />
Fire burn and cauldron bubble,<br />
As into the pot we throw to boil<br />
Lost souls and the economy's rubble.<br />
<br />
The emperor has no clothes<br />
So he takes the poor man's blanket<br />
Leaving him cold and wet<br />
Nowhere to turn when the sun has set,<br />
Oil interests boom with cash in pocket<br />
Many laid off as fuel prices skyrocket.<br />
<br />
War financed on credit<br />
Bills that pay the interest<br />
Show our true deficit<br />
As we kill off our best<br />
Thinking nothing of it.<br />
They'll pay their bills like the rest.<br />
<br />
Health is wealth and wealth is health<br />
But both are taken by stealth<br />
There is no Balm in Gilead<br />
You see the patent's run out,<br />
Generics don't work like the one in the ad<br />
And insurance's put the system to rout.<br />
<br />
Never buy stock without legs you can see<br />
Always seemed sensible to someone like me,<br />
Banks routinely apply payments to<br />
Interest before principle for me and you<br />
And as those payments accrue <br />
Chalk it up to value added<br />
And increase the debt that is due.<br />
Lest this seem the robbery of our age<br />
The only mask that is worn<br />
Is the smile as they grant another mortgage<br />
And once more the sheep is shorn.<br />
<br />
A hidden undersea quake<br />
Goes unnoticed 'til one day we wake<br />
To the force of a Tsunami<br />
Changing coastlands the lie afar<br />
At the other end of our favourite bar.<br />
<br />
Why should I challenge hot air?<br />
Get worked up over things that aren't there?<br />
A little word like turbulence<br />
Makes great difference<br />
In a commercial world<br />
Increasing sales and profits.<br />
Against this evil my banner's unfurled<br />
At these windmills level my lance.<br />
<br />
You see I'm but mad North Northwest<br />
And now the wind is from the South<br />
So I'll hunt Hawks and Handbills,<br />
With the sword that's in my mouth.<br />
The bright green plumage of those rare birds<br />
Shall soon my cap adorn,<br />
For the ADA's licensed my words<br />
Like hunter's arrows to fly forth<br />
Godspeed and good hunting anon.
