lyrics

I watch the news and read the papers and I think that I’ve got it worked out. In those headlines’ the answer, I can’t believe that I ever missed it. It’s clear to me - is it to you, man? When you want to steal from someone, when you want to rip off someone, when you want to launder cash, don’t be modest cos you’ll get busted. Ruin thousands and get away with it. We need to up our game... I want golden handshakes, cocaine and caviar. I’ll even wear a tie! I’ll do anything!

***I’ve decided that the difference between getting away with something and winding up in jail is a question of scale. Rip off one old lady, and you’re probably going to get busted. Work in investment banking, get mega rich doing shady deals and have to get bailed out by the tax payer and you’ll probably be ok... though you may eventually lose your knighthood.***
