Capital is wonderful
When it works we make a pile
Capital is wonderful
When it fails, the taxpayer saves us
Money Monster had a virgin birth
Ascends to heaven, now rules the Earth
Mystical and immutable
Markets rise and Markets fall but
Capital is wonderful
When it works we make a pile
Capital is wonderful
When it fails, the taxpayer saves us
Trading in commodities
Gratifying our wants and needs
Causing havoc based on confidence
Amassing wealth by selling more than we bought ‘cos
Capital is wonderful
When it works we make a pile
Capital is wonderful
When it fails, the taxpayer saves us
Until credit falls on its own sword
Where regulation is a well-mocked word
Plough billions into our bonus pots
Just top us up ‘cos we don’t give a shit
Capital is wonderful
When it works we make a pile
Capital is wonderful
When it fails, the taxpayer bails us out
