The Circle Game.

                                                                      The Circle Game.

(Sung to the tune of Joni Mitchell's, "The Circle Game")

                                                                     

Nowadaze the world's awash in Dollars

Mostly in the form of IOU's

Nations kept on leash-like doggie-collars

Their leaders jumping hoops on DC's cues.

As the Bankers practice ten new forms of treason

Coming up with pocket-lining schemes

Empty words and phrases act as frisson

While promises of "Get Rich" make us cream.

And the Debt wheel just goes round and round

Unbacked fiat money keeps whole nations down

We're captives on a Carousel of Crime

You can't resist you can only watch

Your hopes go up in flames

All spun round 'til run aground in this Circle Game.

Another Crash another theft we'll spawn now

"Assets" melt away like morning dew

But they'll tell you, just you wait it won't be long now

Until it's once again as good as new.

And the Debt wheel just goes round and round

Unbacked fiat money keeps whole nations down

We're captives on a Carousel of Crime

You can't resist you can only watch

Your hopes go up in flames

All spun round 'til run aground in this Circle Game.

All the tears you'll cry, I know there will be plenty

As your dreams you now know never will come true

They'll spin new schemes, fueling dreams you can live rent-free

Before the last revolving payment's due.

And the Debt wheel just goes round and round

Unbacked fiat money keeps whole nations down

We're captives on a Carousel of Crime

You can't resist you can only watch

Our world go up in flames

All spun round 'til run aground in this Circle Game.
