Sci-Finance (Revisited) - Peter Hammill

You got some shares
It's a capital venture
You hedge your bets with a giltedged bond
You're stretched out tight by the terms of debenture
The game is on
You got a fortune on paper
How it shines on the vdu
The simple truth is that sooner or later
The market plays you
There goes the daylight
Night comes on the city so soon
In the dance of the typical capitalists
What piper plays the tune
Money's ideal
Money's power
Money's the drive that's more than skindeep
Hard at work through the twentyfour hours
Oh
But money's never cheap
You made some pretty deals
I hear you say
Judas and faust are squeaky clean
When the last of the deals have been cleared away
What comes up on the screen
There goes the daylight
Night comes on the city so soon
In the dance of the typical capitalists
What piper plays the tune
Only the money
But the deal includes us：
We put ourselves into the stocks
When we built up the temple of the moneygod
We opened up pandora's box
There goes the daylight
Now there is silence on the floor
Only moneycomputers chatter privately
No people any more
No people any more
Only the money
Only the money
Is that what you want
Is that it
There goes the daylight
