Tankard - The Agency Lyrics

We pull the rating trigger
From "triple A" to "C"
The fall of nations is
Not our problem, honestly!

We have the power to rule your deals
Control financial markets
Demigods of bankruptcy

In corporate bonds we trust
Fetishists of the stock exchange
Our verdict you should fear!

Those credit ratings will downgrade truth
Most nations trapped in a spiral doom

Enter the agency
Freeze! cra!
Enter the agency
Profit! And no risk for us
Enter the agency
Freeze! cra!
Enter the agency
Profit! And no risk for us

We pull the rating trigger
From "triple A" to "C"
The fall of nations is
Not our problem, honestly!

Chieftains of Wall Street you shall obey
While we construct inflation
Governments can only pray

In conference rooms we meet
Secrecy for companies
Brokers, dealers, loans'n'moans

Those credit ratings will downgrade truth
Most nations trapped in a spiral-doom

Enter the agency
Freeze! cra!
Enter the agency
Profit! And no risk for us
Enter the agency
Freeze! cra!
Enter the agency
Profit! And no risk for us

You think we need a watchdog?
What for? It's just a game
Miscalculations
Worldwide crisis, money-made
You think we need a watchdog?
What for? It's just a game
Miscalculations
Worldwide crisis, money-made

Enter the agency
Freeze! cra!
Enter the agency
Profit! And no risk for us
Enter the agency
Freeze! cra!
Enter the agency
Profit! And no risk for us
