Where Are The Barricades?

#LeonRosselson

Robespierre is wagging his finger
Karl Marx is scratching his head
They ought to be shooting the bankers
But they're giving them money instead
The plebs should be storming the ramparts
And whetting the guillotine's blades
Singing "Capitalism's in crisis"
So where are the barricades?

Why don't they close down the city?
And throw all the gamblers in jail?
But they're still making money make money
As they slice up the future for sale
And some numbskull's still hugging his bonus
The ol' grafter's made off with the loot
And the slick city traders, the corporate raiders
Freebooters and fraudsters, hedge-fund speculators
The stock-market scammers, the brain-dead regulators
Why aren't they all getting the boot?
