lyrics

Extend the area of freedom
From sea to boiling sea to oblivion
Chicago Boys heaving The Brick through La Moneda
Jubilantly skipping down the New Silk Road

The splendor of empire
Fleeing ever forward
A grifter lodestar
Beaming down a resource curse

Every rate of interest is a doubling time
As fast as I might run those golden sacks will outshine
With immunity for distinguished corruption
Indemnified to purloin fortune

There’s class warfare alright
But it’s the rich that’s making war
And they’re winning

Endless war is just a game
