Arrogance Ignorance and Greed - Show Of Hands

All I wanted was a home

And a roof over our heads

Somewhere we could call our own

Feel safer in our beds

There was a storm of money raining down

It only touched the ground

With a loan I took I can’t repay

And the crock of gold you found

At every trough you stop to feed

With your arrogance, your ignorance and greed

I never was a cautious man

I spend more than I’m paid

But those with something put aside

Are the ones that you betrayed

With your bonuses and expenses

You shovelled down your throats

Now you’ve bit the hand that fed you

Dear God, I hope you choke

At every trough you stop to feed

With your arrogance, your ignorance and greed

You’re on your yacht, we’re on our knees

For your arrogance, your ignorance and greed

Toxic springs you tapped and sold

Poisoned every watering hole

Your probity, you exchanged for gold

Working man stands in line

The market sets his price

No feather bed, no golden egg

No one pays him twice

So where’s your thrift, and your caution

Your honest sound advice?

You know you dealt yourself a winning hand

And loaded every dice

At every trough you stopped to feed

With your arrogance, your ignorance and greed

I pray one day we’ll soon be free

From your absolute indifference

Your avarice, incompetence

Your arrogance, your ignorance

Your greed
