Lyrics

Oh divine economy, my holy ghost
GDP, hallowed be! Grant us eternal growth
We’ll sacrifice kids and send earth up in smoke
Almighty Economy Lord!

The trickle-down gospel is righteous and fair
Wealth will rain down from our blessed billionaires
Commodify everything – even the air
Almighty Economy Lord!

Markets crash! Central bank show us grace
Protect corporate profit, bail out their mistakes
Please save the rich, our archangels and saints
Smite me Economy Lord!

The prophets of profit will divine our needs
Not food or friendship – that’s just heresy
More runways, more chatbots, more brand logo tees
Almighty Economy Lord!

Earth ignites! Its assets no more
The space arks depart and wave bye to the poor
Each man is judged by his last credit score
Smite me Economy Lord!

In heaven we pay off our judgement day loans
In prayer call centres we answer your phones
How many shifts ‘til our souls are our own?
Almighty Economy Lord!

Heaven falls! By St Bezos’s hand
He sold off the clouds so we’re joining the damned
Was it the free market or part of your plan?
Can you hear me Economy Lord?
