"Our Market Experts Hunt for Future Clues!"

That's not a headline that would interest me,

I couldn't give a fig for Wall Street blues,

yet every night, they tell me on TV!

"The Hang Seng Index rose eight points again!"

Once more I have to ask myself: Who Cares?

So what if something nibbles at the yen?

I don't know anybody who has shares!

The Footsie? I don't care about new shoes -

or last week's bearish index quotient test,

I work - get paid - then buy my food and booze,

there's never any left to damn invest!

The world is in a pretty nasty state,

our optimism's grinding to a halt,

I'm fairly sure we all deserve our fate,

and I don't think it's bloody Nikkei's fault!

The News thinks I would really like to know -

the Nasdaq can be up - but why tell us?

We'll still be up at dawn and off we'll go,

the same old job, the same old boring bus.

So, shares are so acute to our lifestyle

you have to give reports out constantly?

Okay well why not make it worth our while -

and give us all some bloody shares for free!
