Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed
This video song is by UK folk band Show of Hands, and is about our old friends the bankers. The lyrics are reproduced below:
All I wanted was a home
And a roof over our heads
Somewhere we could call our own
Feel safer in our beds
There was a storm of money raining down
It only touched the ground
With a loan I took I can’t repay
And the crock of gold you found
At every trough you stopped to feed
With your Arrogance, your Ignorance and Greed.
I never was a cautious man
I spend more than I’m paid
But those with something put aside
Are the ones that you betrayed
With your bonuses and expenses
You shovelled down your throat
Now you bit the hand that fed you
Dear God I hope you choke
At every trough you stopped to feed
With your Arrogance, your Ignorance and Greed.
You're on your yacht, we’re on our knees
Through your Arrogance, your Ignorance and Greed.
Toxics springs you tapped and sold,
Poisoned every watering hole
Your probity, you exchanged for gold
Working man stands in line
The market sets his price
No feather bed, no golden egg
No one pays him twice
So where's your thrift, your caution
Your honest sound advice
You know you dealt yourself a winning hand
And loaded every dice
At every trough you stopped to feed
With your Arrogance, your Ignorance and Greed.
I pray one day we’ll soon be free
From your absolute indifference
Your avarice, incompetence
Your Arrogance, your Ignorance and your Greed.
