I've had a few dealings in the city, met a number of stockbrokers,
and I can tell you in all my life I've never seen such dishonesty and greed.
It's like a big petting shop, bookies, a casino,
where they're all screwing each other
and the rest of the world.
The devil is here in
the city
And the
CG wakes up with the devil
The poor man comes but he
can't get a wicket
Poor man comes but he
can't get a share
The rich man comes in
his brand new car
Bought on credit from a leasing house
The common man try
to have us over
Selling us shares that we already own
Accountants came and juggled
with the numbers
That's how they became
two thieves and a liar
That's how they became
two thieves and a liar
That's how they became two thieves and a liar
The devil is here at the city,
at the city.
The rich man comes in his brand new car,
bought already from a leasing house.
The man came and tried to have us over,
selling us shares that we already own.
Accountants came and juggled
with the numbers.
That's how it became
Tom,
Pheebs and
Goliath.
Pachiro!
Pachiro!
Pachiro!
Pachirooooooo!
The devil is in the city
And the city wakes
up to the devil
When the
Jewish and
Italian communities went to
America, right,
they landed in a new country
that was ripe for organization
and for racket.
Now in this country that's not possible, because the big power,
the real money, the real racket
have been going over here for
hundreds of years.
They're all stitched up and they've passed
on from generation to generation.
And the
American gangsters, right,
they're still struggling to get the respect to do that they're after.
But we've had three centuries,
Ed
Starr on those blokes and look,
haven't we done a beautiful job with them at all?
I'll bet you there are mil
lions of people,
Wayne, who think that the blokes who work
here in the city are really good blokes,
hard -working, who've got the economy of
this nation deep in their heart.
What a load of cobblers.
It's the best confidence trick
in history.
Everybody's here in the city
A poor man comes but he
can't get a look in
A poor man comes but he
can't get a shout
The rich man comes in
his brand new car
Pull s on credit from a leasing house
The poor men come and
try to have us over
Selling us shares that we already own
Accountants came and juggled
with the numbers
Death suddenly came,
two thieves and a liar
Death suddenly came,
two thieves and a liar
Death suddenly came, two thieves and a liar
The neighbor is here in the city,
and the city works out with the neighbor.
The rich man comes in his brand new car,
bought on credit from a leasing house.
All men came and tried to have us over,
selling us shares that we already own.
Accountants came and jumped
up with the numbers
That's how they became
two thieves and a liar
That's how they became two
thieves and a liar
That's how they became
two thieves and a liar
Back it up, back it up,
back it up
Two thieves and a liar
Back it up
The devil is
here in the city
And the city wakes up
with the dev il
The devil is here
in the city
And the city wakes
up with the devil
