the fall

about

Bernard Madoff is a wolf, ok, but people like him could never exist without the greed of their victims...

lyrics

The wolf comes out of the woods,
he’s looking for a place to play,
The sheep gather round at the smell
of easy money to be made…
17 percent seems unreal ,
but the bubble’s so sweet they can feel
the greed slowly egging them on as
the wolf smiles …and starts to feed…

The pyramid is laid bare
for all those geniuses to see,
but the wolf owns the town
‘cause the sheep gave him the keys…
They call him a God, they worship his words,
they all want to believe,
But when the Ponzi scheme collapses
the sheep cry outrage… as they bleed…

Gather around now, all you sheep
The time has come for you to see
The true colors of the wolves you created
When you fed them with your greed…
So don’t come crying now to say you’ve lost it all,
Then claim it’s not your fault
‘cause a wolf could never survive
without a sheep to keep him alive…
the richer the fool, the harder The Fall…
the richer the fool, the harder The Fall.

You can ride the bulls,
You can surf on the hype,
You can follow the wolves
To be a sheep in the light…
You can break the rules,
You can steal it all,
But the richer the fool, well, the harder The Fall…
