[Macdonald Stainsby]

International monetary motherfuckers
making us suckers for a carousel of dreams.
Compound interest, the algebra of greed,
the more you have, the more you need

You owe it--
You owe it to yourself
to owe us alot

Paper money, paper brains, 
paper buying imaginary things.
The franc, the peso, the yen, the baht,
the dollar, the pound, whatever you got,
it's zilch, it's zap, it's nada, it's crap!

You owe it--
You owe it to yourself
to owe us alot 


Money is red, yellow, blue, and green--
rainbow colors so obscene. 
Money is a drug, a whore, some crack--
the illusion of having what you lack

You owe it--
You owe it to yourself
 to owe us alot

Money is a liar, a joker, a knave
providing man an early grave 
with a gamble, a bet, a lottery 
making you think you're really free

You owe it--
You owe it to yourself
to owe us alot

 Currency traders/ corporate raiders
dot-com scammers/ financial flimflammers 
lazer printer counterfeiters/ pie-in-the sky
prestidigitators/ international monetary 
                                        motherfuckers!

You owe it--
You owe it to yourself
to owe us alot

Yankee dollar-- slavery's collar.
Armed soldiers, shoeless peasants,
imperial rule isn't pleasant.
Palaces built by jaded elites,
bank towers rise above decrepit streets

You owe it--
You owe it to yourself
to owe us alot

The New World Order is the same ole' digs,
same ole' pen of shit-eating pigs.
Neon pigs with wings, inflato-pigs
ballooning above, holding coins
in velvet gloves, saying:
SAVE, SAVE, SAVE, (meaning)
SLAVE, SLAVE, SLAVE!

You owe it now
You owe it then
You owe it if and
You owe it when

You owe it--
You owe it to yourself
to owe us alot

International monetary motherfuckers !
