He is the wolf In the black limosine You won't see his face In Hello magazine He rules his kingdom of gain From a tower with no name Assets stripped, and steal the prize This is his game Lambs lie sleeping In the pasture Wolves are creeping Ever closer And life... Just passes them by He owns the crown And he rents out the sky Oceans fall To see his market share lies Backrolls the yen While he's pounding the dollar The bears are dancing to his tune The fools they run for cover Lambs lie sleeping In the pasture Wolves are creeping Ever closer And life... Just passes them by Watch the way the numbers dance Is it magic is it chance Watch the way the numbers crunch He ruins lives while doing lunch Listen to the punters squeal The wolf has clinched another deal The lambs are sleeping in their pasture Losing money ever faster Lambs lie sleeping In the pasture Wolves are creeping Ever closer But life... just passes them by Lambs lie breeding In the pasture Wolves are feeding Ever faster And life... Has passed them, gone by
