|
They saunter past, neck-tied, suited and briefcased |
|
Departure gates flooded in indecent haste |
|
Too big for their boots |
|
They're all too big for their boots |
|
They're ready and waiting, get their eyes peeled |
|
Eager to bid, to make a cheap deal |
|
Jovial figures, jovial characters. |
|
They make the system tick, grease the palm... |
|
Everything's on offer |
|
They make the system tick, always got the right note |
|
Ready in their hands. |
|
Nothing counts except |
|
Hard cash, how much do you want for that? |
|
The world has come up for sale |
|
Hard cash, the east has been knocked out flat |
|
Capital is in full sail. |
|
These off-the-peg jokers show no hesitation |
|
They're tough as nails, vanguard of the nation |
|
Feel nothing under their fat |
|
Feel nothing under their fat |
|
Greasy wads flashed before you know it |
|
Any pause for reflection would surely blow it |
|
Would blow the quick deal |
|
Blow the hard-headed deal. |
|
Western-widesceen, quick on the draw |
|
In unequal showdown |
|
Western-widesceen, the golden horsemen |
|
Ride into the sunset once again. |
|
Nothing left except |
|
Hard cash, how much do you want for that? |
|
Here's to the German Mark |
|
Hard cash, the east has been knocked out flat |
|
Capital, the school of sharks. |
|
Time is cash, the rest is trash |
|
Morals are bogus |
|
Getting ready for the bright new world |
|
Let's make the money our focus |
|
No more sentiment... |
|
Nothing left except |
|
Hard cash, how much do you want for that? |
|
Here's to the German Mark |
|
Hard cash, the east has been laid out cold |
|
Swallowed by the school of sharks. |
|
Hard cash, no one can stop it now |
|
Borders are over-run |
|
Hard cash, how much is the world? |
|
That's how the deal is done. |
