The FSA* has had its say on what it thinks is ethical
They've drafted some scenarios some tricky hypotheticals
Although some in the markets think it's totally heretical
They're afraid the regulator's gonna get them by the testicles

It may seem a contradiction rather hopeless quite impossible
They're just not good at being good they're really quite incapable
The bottom line is where they're at you may think it's reprehensible
but greed is good and when the chips are down morality's dispensible

Stock options are what counts for them their eye is always on that ball
All the rest is background noise you know they're really cynical
They say they care about their clients but they're really hypocritical
Enron wasn't such a special case in fact it was quite typical.........

they're masters of the universe their schedules are frenetic
they always know just what they want and how they're going to get it
They're wealthy and they're proud of it quite unapologetic
Oh but dealing with the taxman leaves them feeling apoplectic

that's why they're prone to heart attacks and they're often quite dyspeptic
I know they have their problems too I'm not unsympathetic
It's so stressful for them sometimes that need an anaesthetic
You can spot them staggering around the city getting totally paralytic


Their wives are stranded in the suburbs getting lonely and neurotic
reading novels by the pool... they like them steamy and erotic
they're into flirting with the poolman they want to sh*g him something chronic
such a change from the old routine of self abuse and a gin and tonic

when it comes to safe investments ...like safe sex it's problematic
but ethics is as useful as a leaky prophylactic
