lyrics

From the FTSE to the Nikei
From the Congo to the USA
We’re all different colours but the
song’s the same

We had a cold war
And a few hot
But we now know
What we knew not:
There can be no freedom baby
If there’s no free trade

So welcome to the end of history
There ain’t no taming liberty
People and markets wanna be free
And there ain’t no turning back

So woah-oh let the capital flow
Keep it laissez faire let it go
And where the market leads, let the people follow.

Lay lay la lay lay
Without the moves you got no chance
Lay lay la lay lay
You gotta do the market dance.

So let me see you move
(deregulate!)
Let me see you slide
(and privatise)
Do the Reagan rock
do the Pinochet roll

Let me see you move
(small government rules)
Now step to the right
(and another to the right)
And when the people wonder why
gotta let them know:

What’s good for the City is good for the land
A little austerity is good for the soul
it’s fundamentally fair, fundamentally right
it’s inevitable
So oh oh let the capital flow
Keep it laissez faire let it go
And where the market leads,
Let the people follow.

Lay lay la lay lay
Without the moves you got no chance
Lay lay la lay lay
You gotta do the market dance.
