Oh What a Beautiful Morning
See the customers line up at Goldman
For the market positions we sold ‘em.
For all of our wisdom we’re handsomely paid.
And we’re also on the other side of each trade
Every day’s sunny at Goldman
Revenue translates to pay
Funny how all our shareholders
Think they’ll get some ROA.
Though we’re scheduled on Congress’s dockets
All the while we are lining our pockets.
They’ll add regulations to strangle our throat
But we’ll just make the Fabulous Fab the scapegoat.
Front-running customer orders
New scandals break every day
Directors do insider trading
Until they get caught it’s okay.
When our net worth has grown beyond measuring
We’ll retire and work for the Treasury.
Where Goldman Sachs’ interests are Rule #1
Like all of our old predecessors have done.
Self-serving commerce at Goldman
That’s how our profits are made
Here is your caveat emptor
Watch when you give us a trade.
Everyone here's getting paid!
