Goldman's Ideology
Hubris at work

We Stock Exchange nobility
    play under diff'rent rules,
Aren't our profits proof enough
    you commoners are fools?

We're skimming from most trades you
    make, manipulating prices.
We're hi-tech Bernie Madoffs with
    high frequency devices.

You thought the market playing field
    was level which it's not,
For we're allowed to jimmy up
    the price at which you bought.

Exchanges let us figure out
    the most you said you'd pay
So we can buy at market
    and hose you right away.

Will i-Mac's let you steal on-line
    and maintain bankers' hours?
With loopholes each Exchange provides,
    what's yours will soon be ours.
