Billionaires will save us
Emerging from the sun.
They will ride in chariots of gold
Billionaires will teach the savage to grow crops
Of maize and durum
They will heal the sick and the lame.
They will bring the gift of song and dance.
They will save us all.
They will slay the monsters under beds and in closets
They will take on big tobacco
They will part the sea
They will promise to have and to hold
To honor and protect
In sickness and in health
Billionaires will accept you
Billionaires will understand you
Billionaires will love you
Open the gates!
Send the children and beautiful maidens holding baskets of flowers and wearing crowns of daisies in their hair-
to greet them and shower them with petals.
Praise them
Praise them
Hallelujah
On a carpet of the finest velvet
(no expense is spared)
lead every billionaire -
Lead one by one to the special thrones of gold.
Where they will sit
and watch as the guillotine is prepared in their honor.
They will sit
Watch and wait
Wait and watch
until it is their time to gently and lovingly place their necks
Into the stock-
And regret-
Regret that they only have one life to give…
(for you, for me)
Billionaires will save us,
and wash away all our sins.
Amen.
