lyrics

The bright lights of the city shine
Upon the new man of the hour.
He signs another dotted line;
He says his will gives him the power,
And as for luck?
He says he just doesn’t need it.

He strides into the living night,
A ship of fools all around him.
Another fix just to get their kicks,
He only needs to flash the cash,
And the river of plenty:
It just keeps flowing.

Oh for the child
Who sleeps by hunger’s gate.
There’s food on the table
But only tears upon her plate.
Only the howling wind
To sing her soul to sleep.
Walk a mile in the shoes of the child
And you’ll dry the tears she weeps.

Meanwhile in a black limousine
Our hero closes a new deal.
Kingmaker, mover and shaker,
He’s got no time for those in need,
He’s got his eyes on the prize
Man…the big money’s talking.
He steals into the dark of night:
A fixer of returnable favours
He says that everyone has a price
So he’s loaded the dice.

He only needs to flash the cash
And his army of friends,
It just keeps growing
Oh for the child…

He is here,
He don’t like those bleeding hearts.
His message clear:
It’s been live or die from the start.

And he’s heard them all:
Those tales for tea and sympathy
In the rise and fall, he says
Only the strong survive
The filthy rich, fit and strong
Yes he is here -
And he walks among us now,
He’s got a heart of stone you know,
A heart that’s a mark of the age

The bright lights of the city shine
Upon the big man of the hour.
He sold his soul for complete control
Now, he’s counting in the counting house;
His only friend is the money
Because he don’t trust anyone.

He strides into the living night,
A ship of fools all around him.
He’s the kingpin
That’s all that matters to him
He only needs to flash the cash,
And the river of plenty
It just keeps flowing
