New crash is coming
Watch out IMF dem try to tek away your sight
Boom an a gloom. Recession it a loom
For de second time in ten years monies starting to get tight
Better take cover 'cos de crash is coming soon
Lock, stockbrokers an two smoking barrels
Spun de roulette wheel an a you won de first time
So forget bout prayers an a your christmas carols
Welcoming de new year back on de breadline
New crash is coming
Pointing de index finger at meaningless figures
Dow Jones, Wall St, Nikkei they all lied
Speculator goldigger an free market ligger
Here comes a FTSE up your backside
Pacfic rim panic, taking de tooth from de tiger
Financial fallout oterrioing ce geigeu
A war of nerves between de us an Japan
Once again de underdogs end up carrying de can
Watch out IMF dem try to tek away your sight
Boom an a gloom. Recession it a loom
For de second time in ten years monies starting to get tight
Better take cover 'cos de crash is coming soon
International monetary foul play
Freetrade, slavetrade. Slip dem a bung an call it aid
Gurus. Fakirs: witness de mess dat they have made
It's de end of history, we say it's just de beginning
Struggle for de truth no more doctors will be spinning
Pilger prophecised de profits of de city
Media mogul dying wid his hand inna de kitty
We live in de world that time begatt
Time to check de data debris an change de format
All de way from de frontline here comes de backlash
Bad news outnational announcing de crash
