corporate bail out by autotelic

Since a stock market bull run came to a grinding halt last year and as the crisis has magnified by the week, occupational psychologists who help stressed-out traders and bankers now fear a higher cost than mere write-downs: suicide.

 

the elite of wall street
have never had it so bad
as psychologists line up
to explain how the stress
of working under duress
is driving people fucking mad
especially at morgan stanley
and bear stearns

where the latest stats show
the credit crunch is murdering the dreams
of making massive profits  over lunch
as they're killing the traders now

in Africa and Asia
and latin America and indonesia through
annoying soaring food prices
are undermining biofuels futures too
as elite economists
and market analysts freak
and try to figure out what to do
as things look so fucking bleak
from the hungry investors point of view
its not starvation
its agflation
thats troubling those who live by the Dow
because this  losing streak
has eaten into their  free champagne and steak
as they're killing the traders now

on the domestic front
life's a real cunt
and they're laying off workers in reams
who've  invested their toils
for few of the spoils
and now the recession has fucked their dreams
of having enough to get by
for having  a try
for a little security in their later years
- expecting  their pension  savings to grow
instead of their problems, debts  and fears
but workers are there to take the brunt
that much we all know  
but down at the bourse
things are looking much much worse
as they're killing the traders now
