Michael Raz - Speculator Lyrics

I called up Vegas just to get the line
On world destruction and corruption
And all the usual crimes
I put down forty-k
On rape to lead the way
Seemed a good bet, thought I was set
But murder won that very day

My own instincts I had betrayed
The bookie just laughed as he collected his pay

Speculator
Yeah I'm a speculator
Wherever I'm to go, the money shows
My morals, they get checked outside the door

I arrived at Wall Street just before the bell
With the inside track, not lookin' back, I decided to sell
I felt like I just made it before closin' time
And sure enough that was the story
As the Dow had climbed so high

Disbelief filled all the traders' minds
While me and my broker, we just sighed

Speculator
Yeah I'm a speculator
Wherever I'm to go, the money shows
My morals, they get checked outside the door
For sure

Speculator
Yeah I'm a speculator
Wherever I'm to go, the money shows
My morals, they get checked outside the door

I flew by jet to the rain forest the very next day
And met with all the natives and began to explain
That slash and burn was the way to turn a sure profit
There's no need to save, you've got it made
Just put that in your pocket

The future is now, you must discount it
Let's get to work so we can count the trinkets

Speculator
Yeah I'm a speculator
Wherever I'm to go, the money shows
My morals, they get checked outside the door

Speculator
Yeah I'm a speculator
Wherever I'm to go, the money shows
My morals, they get checked outside the door
