Ten-year Treasury Yield flat at 2.32%
The bankers have played us for fools
We gave them some powerful tools
Money creation
And steady inflation
Absconding with all of our jewels
They traded our labor for debt
The interest we paid with our sweat
Money from air
And wealth they won't share
A folly we're soon to regret
- The Limerick King
