about

Lyrics influenced by the British comedians John Bird and John Fortune, "the Two Johns", and their sketch The Last Laugh.

lyrics

The Last Laugh (Financial Crisis)
market sentiment, a flock of investment bankers
running around, buying, selling anything
the more they run, the higher the fees and the bonuses
they'll take it all, everything they can bring

mortgage salesmen living on ripping people off
lending out money to buy worthless houses
these debts becomes a structured investment vehicle
placed in a fund on the financial market

ch:
the rich wanna get richer
the poor are gonna to get poorer
the rich are gonna to get richer, richer and richer

the financial crisis makes the capitalists fewer
the losers run to the government for aid
demands that their lost capital be replaced
all in the name of the pension funds

so the banks get millions from the state
with the condition to loose the dead weight
workers lose their jobs and their homes
managements reward themselves with bonuses

ch:

bonuses when business is flourishing
the last laugh, the last laugh
bonuses when business is declining
the last laugh, the last laugh
bonuses on top of pays five hundred times a workers

ch:
