The markets are feeling confused
Hoodwinked, abandoned & used
With Fed bubbles popping
And confidence dropping
Investors are feeling abused
Lockhart is leaving the Fed
He knows that the markets are dead
He wants to leave town
Before they come down
Investors will come for his head
The Banksters have failed at their fix
We're reaching the end of their tricks
Here is a play
To make it OK
Keep buying the dips in the $VIX
The end of Establishment greed
Is what us Deplorables need
An end to the crime
Of Establishment slime
And their criminal globalist creed
