My conservative reactionary friend The ends don't justify the means you understand You take the bu*ter from the table by a gun You think the status quo will be there when you're done You buy the missile, buy the laser, buy the tank Evict the widow, put the money in the bank You do it all in the name of economics: economics, economics, economics Well, it's just industrial lies Hidden behind your eyes Well, it's just industrial lies Hidden behind your eyes Maximize Profitize Exploitation Take what you want, leave the rest behind Take what you want, leave the rest behind
