THE GENIE OF THE MARKET FORCES

I'm the little genie – I fly over this world

And I am here to grant the wishes – of every boy and girl

As long as you pay my prize – I promise to be very nice to you

And I'll bring toys and horses – cause I'm the genie of the market forces

Hi, it's me...

And now the genie's here – There's no where left to hide

The bottle's empty – no genie inside

Be careful what you wish for – Cause it might come true

The genie he knows – That anything goes

As long as the market's happy – As long as the market – loves you

And the stocks and shares for the folks upstairs – Go up

They must go up

Go up – They must go up

The genie and the banking men – The war machine and Uncle Sam

The one per cent and how they bend the rules,

To make us fools, look like we're cool

Genie and the banking men – The war machine and Uncle Sam

The one per cent and how they bend the rules, 

To make us fools, look like we're cool

We need your human flesh – we need the boys

To work all day and night – to make new toys

For the world to go around – the way we want it to

And everyone's so happy here – locked in our human zoo

The genie and the banking men – The war machine and Uncle Sam

The one per cent and how they bend the rules, 

To make us fools, look like we're cool

Genie and the banking men – The war machine and Uncle Sam

The one per cent and how they bend the rules,

To make us fools, look like we're cool

Now, the captains of industry – are looking out for you

All the folks on the farm – are all kept warm

With promises and fairy-tales of – better days to come

As the world keeps dying – from all the stuff they've done

But you know the market loves you - As long as the stocks and shares - Go...

Go up, they must go up – Go up, they must go up

Up into the sky – and no one wonders why

Millions die – from the disease – of modern life – I guess it's all to please; 

The genie...

The genie and the banking men – The war machine and Uncle Sam

The one per cent and how they bend the rules,

To make us fools, look like we're cool

...It never stops, never stops

Until the genie's locked away, locked away, locked away...

But the genie's going...

 

Going up, he's going up

Going up, he must go up

Up into the sky and no one wonders why

Or where he's gonna fly 

 

Now, I'm the little genie – and I say goodbye to you

Now, buy the stuff we've made – you all be good as you consume

Now, make the market happy – and you all can live your lives

Inside our big, big bubble, there's no trouble, all is fine – I bid you good bye...
