Lyrics Part 12: Bankster Gangs © Juliet Capulet March 11 2011

What kind of life is it when others suffer for your big advantage

Who are you anyway and how in hell do you ever even manage

To look into the mirror without ever asking why

Is it ok to look away from those who struggle to get by

[voyagedevie]

Lyrics Part 11: Bankster Gangs © Juliet Capulet March 11 2011

What do you say to people left out of the market revolution

When do you stop the taking start creating some kind of solution

What kind of fair is it when people at the way top of the ladder

Take a bigger slice of pie but watch the bottom just get sadder

[voyagedevie]

Lyrics Part 10: Bankster Gangs © Juliet Capulet March 11 2011

The government’s a puppet financiers pull all the strings

It’s why we now can’t even pay for just the standard basic things

Because the policies they push for only fatten up their take

You’re short on bread don’t even ask they’ll probably tell you to eat cake

It’s like they break it and we buy it then they tell us share the pain

But all it’s added up to is another Wall Street gain.

Lyrics Part 9: Bankster Gangs © Juliet Capulet March 11 2011

They’ll try to tell you it’s productive allocation of capital

But look around and see it’s a game in which they grab it all

Instead of building schools and factories, high-speed trains and rockets

The money faucet flows into the Wall Street Wizards’ pockets

Lyrics Part 8: Bankster Gangs © Juliet Capulet March 11 2011

So excited we forgot to take a look under the hood

Try to figure out if any of that junk was any good

Now quants and robots trading jillions faster than you even blink

Asset-backed securities exploding made a bit of a stink

Too big to fail we gotta bail

Em out in time for bonus season

Credit default swaps and CDOs

Equal a different kind of treason

[voyagedevie]

Lyrics Part 7: Bankster Gangs © Juliet Capulet March 11 2011

So what went down is that the Wall Street folk made up a whole new bunch

Of ways to take an ever bigger share of other people’s lunch

Some stuff was barely understood and yeah it brought a bit of trouble

Like when they started cooking up a bigfat dotcom bubble

The discount brokers and the frenzied speculation

Made casino gambling fools out of many in the nation

[en1841]

Another piece of communist crap

[sklanger]

Very good.

So, who is Juliet Capulet? An amateur? Does she have an album out? Where can we find out more about her? Website? And who is she really? The name is a Shakespearian nom-de-plume. Anyone?

Thanks very much for the lyrics!
